Totumo Mud Volcano Tour – Natural Spa Day Trip from Cartagena
On this ecotour, you will have the opportunity to visit and immerse yourself in the Totumo Mud Volcano, a non usual place of interest in Cartagena known for its natural mud formation. This unique natural spa offers the added benefit of improving and rejuvenating your skin while you relax in the warm, dense mud. The volcano stands at 20 meters high and reaches more than 2,000 meters deep, but thanks to the density and mineral-rich components of the mud, it is impossible to sink.
Once inside the volcano, the most challenging part will be deciding on your position, as the buoyant mud naturally causes your body to float face-up. Acclimating to the warm and dense mud is not only fun, but also a unique sensation, unlike any other experience.
Be sure to rub the mud all over your body and face, massaging it in circular motions to enhance its rejuvenating effects. When you rinse off the mud, you'll notice how soft and smooth your skin feels. After floating in the mud for several minutes, you'll be left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed.
