Volcan de Lodo El Totumo

This half-day tour from Cartagena offers a unique therapeutic experience at the Volcán de Lodo El Totumo, where you can float in mineral-rich mud and wash off in a nearby lagoon, all with included air-conditioned transport and a bilingual guide. While the booking covers the journey, guests must bring cash in Colombian Pesos to pay the mandatory entrance (20,000 COP) and rinse-off (5,000 COP) fees directly to the local community, as well as extra funds for optional services like massages or photos. To ensure a smooth trip, travelers should also pack their own towels, snacks, and beverages for this memorable, weightless mud bath adventure.
