Description
Travelers should book this tour because they will have the opportunity to visit two exotic and medicinal attractions of the Colombian Caribbean such as the famous totumo volcano, which has gained national and international importance because the mud baths in this volcano are recognized as beneficial for the health of the body because the components of the mud contain salts and minerals that help relax it, exfoliate the skin and, according to many permanent visitors, improve health and cure different ailments. The beautiful attractive Pink Sea which has a great history and its salt flats steal the whole show, since they provide the waters forming the intense pink sea, being a natural phenomenon it has a pink hue depending on the season.

The Totumo volcano is a volcanic cone full of mud, which is located in the rural area of the municipality of Santa Catalina (Bolívar), in the Caribbean Region of Colombia, next to the Ciénaga del Totumo and near the border with the department of the Atlantic. The corregimientos of Loma de Arena, Galerazamba and Pueblo Nuevo are the closest to it. The formation presents a low elevation (approximately twenty meters) to reach its crater it is necessary to ascend a rustic wooden staircase.
Salinas de Galerazamba is a beautiful and colorful pink sea, located between Cartagena and Barranquilla; It is a destination worth knowing

David and Cesar were nice. Spoke great English. We had a great time at the volcano then at Coco Beach. Relaxing with a satisfying lunch and an afternoon in the hotel pool. A great way to spend the day
Be ready to paid XTRA at TOTUMO(services p.p.) + tour guide(tips). NO stop at PINK SEA(it's a scam), it was CANCEL since 2 years ago because it dried up due to drought. The TOUR info is not updated. At the end no one wants to be responsible for the refund.
Possible Scam never picked us up or responded after purchase We made several attempts to contact plus the Hotel guest relations attempted to contact tour group. No response
Totally something I would not have expected but so glad we did it. So much fun! We were disappointed to pink sea which was not really pink.
The Tour operator DID NOT pick us up on time. We waited 45 minutes past the original pick up time & left. They never contacted us or anything to give us updates. Our flight left on the same day so we weren't able to rebook. Punctuality, respect & communication is key. We contacted Viator to get a REFUND.
The mud volcano was such a fun experience!! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a new experience. I would also suggest bringing extra cash to pay people individually for massage, pictures, and cleaning at the end. Also this tour does NOT include the pink sea tour. They take you to another beach so take note. I told the tour guide they need to update the description to this activity online.
I liked my tour guide. She was very informative and pleasant. The mud bath and the tour of the Indians and pink salt beach was epic.
Juliana was great she spoke both language and gave the tour in Spanish and English. She also was very knowledgeable about the sites and every stop we made. Loved the mud experience 💙 it was amazing. Am so glad I did this while I was there.totally recommend.
I originally paid the $40 for the tour. I got theee and I had to pay an additional $20 for entry and there was no actual “ lunch “ included. Neither was there any pink sea. It was overall cool to do being in the mud etc. but I wouldn’t do it again or recommend. It’s giving scam.
We had so much fun touring the salt museum and pink sea and then taking the plunge into the volcanic mud! Great tour and so much fun! Yulianna was a great tour guide! She even sang us the salt song!
