Description

Escape the city for a rejuvenating adventure at the Totumo Mud Volcano, known for its unique natural mud bath. Then unwind at the beach, soak up the sunshine, and enjoy a refreshing coconut drink by the sea.

Begin with round-trip, air-conditioned transportation and the company of a bilingual local guide who will lead the journey and provide cultural context. Upon arrival at the mini-volcano, climb the stairs and descend into the dense, mineral-rich mud for an unforgettable, weightless floating sensation.

Enjoy approximately 10–15 minutes inside the mud bath, depending on how busy the volcano is that day. Afterward, allow around 30 minutes to wash off and enjoy the nearby lagoon before continuing your adventure.

Next, head to La Boquilla Beach, where you will be welcomed with a refreshing complimentary coconut drink. Spend approximately two hours relaxing on the sand, soaking up the sunshine, or strolling along the shore.

You can also purchase lunch at one of the beachfront restaurants and enjoy a leisurely meal overlooking the sea. Lunch and additional food or drinks are not included. After your beach break, return comfortably to Cartagena’s historic center to finish the experience.
