Cartagena: El Totumo Mud Volcano & Beach Club Day
›
‹
Cartagena: El Totumo Mud Volcano & Beach Club Day★★★★★★★★★★ 4.63 (359)4hYou float weightlessly in warm, mineral-rich mud at a 50-foot volcano crater near Cartagena, supported by hotel pickup and a local guide. Choose a half-day wellness session or upgrade to a full day that adds beach club access. The experience includes a snack and local taxes, though massages and cleaning services cost extra. Plan for the crater to fill and empty in shifts, so you won't be alone but won't be packed in either.Is it for me?Book this if you want a natural spa experience that's genuinely different—the floating sensation in mineral mud is something you can't replicate elsewhere—and you'd rather not arrange your own transport from Cartagena or figure out the logistics of getting there and back.Free cancellationfromUS$ 65View ›

Totumo Mud Volcano near Cartagena: Mud bath and massage4h–6hEl Totumo Mud Volcano, 45 minutes outside Cartagena, is a natural mud bath where you float in warm mineral-rich water for exfoliation and skin treatment, followed by a short massage with the same mud, a rinse in fresh water, and a typical coastal lunch at Manzanillo Beach. The activity includes hotel pickup, an air-conditioned vehicle, bottled water, and the afternoon free to swim and walk the shoreline. A Spanish-speaking guide leads the group through the full sequence.Is it for me?You do the mud bath and massage yourself—floating, soaking and rinsing at your own pace—which suits anyone wanting a hands-on experience without a guide narrating the process. The afternoon at Manzanillo Beach is unstructured, so you choose how much time to spend swimming, walking or resting on the sand instead of following a fixed itinerary.Free cancellationfromUS$ 100View ›
