A cool experience and massages while floating in the mud were great! They view from the top was nice. Take small bills because they def want a tip!!! That’s why I gave it a four instead of five. The area where you get in the mud was smaller than I thought.
The place is dirty, the bathrooms that offer disgusting and dirty, the “masseurs” are lords who remove the mud and although you don’t want to insist and charge you even to shake hands to get out of the mud, the “lagoon” is a dirty and smelly river entrance, also on our tour we were taken to lunch simple and basic food to a hotel with 5 dirty pools and no drop of shade... all in 6 hours... in short DON’T DO it if you don’t want to waste your time and money
Loved the mud volcano part of the tour. Very unique experience. The food after the tour was good too
Thank you for booking your experience with us
The provider delayed the tour with one day , its okay , but in the expected day he did not picked up me . I lost 1 day in my trip doing nothing and missing tortumo experience
Thank you for your comment, we regret what happened, a human error on our part.
It was amazing and l enjoyed my time a lot Tour guide Jose and driver Louis were friendly and helpful I recommend all Colombia visitors to visit and enjoy the mud
The agency communicates with me and tells me that the stop in pink sea will not do and that they take me to a hotel with a swimming pool. It doesn’t really fulfill what was offered on the tour and I’m waiting for the refund of my money, understanding that the agency tells me to cancel the tour that they will refund my money. They charge first before notifying that the tour is not how they sell it.

Le repito no tenemos su dinero.
The tour was nice, the mud bath amazing, the cleaning ladies at the river to wash off the mud were funny although a bit aggressive with some folks for a tip... But they did such a good job washing us off and making us laugh, I had no problem tipping..
Glad we did this but probably won't do it again. The tour is exceptional and the people at the volcano are very helpful and super nice. It was the actual mud experience that was a little gross to me - mud was thick, gritty and had things floating in it. You will be touched a lot on this one, nothing inappropriate. They will help you down the ladder, push you over to the massage if you wish to be massaged (we didn't), then will wipe the excess mud off you before you get all the way out and then when you go to the lake the rinse off, the ladies there will help you rinse off. Nothing was uncomfortable for us, just a little surprising.
the mud soak was an experience could have done without the salt sea lunch was excellent overall a good tour
Our tour was sapose to start at 8 but we drove in circles for 2 hours before even heading to the volcano which isn’t the tour guides fault but was frustrating the rest of our tour was mediocre but the volcano was cool. Locals were hella pushy and wouldn’t stop touching me which was weird thankfully the tour guide did ask them to back off after but the river ladies were nice.
