Tour to the Mud Volcano in Cartagena with Lunch
Description
It is a unique experience in the world: there are not many active mud volcanoes accessible for tourism. Fun feeling: floating in the mud is an out of the ordinary experience. Skin benefits : the sludge is rich in natural minerals. Cultural interaction: direct contact with local communities offering traditional services. Ideal for photos and social networks : a very striking and different place. Short activity and easy to combine with other plans in Cartagena.

This trip was very fun and exciting. The only scary part was going down the stairs. I am glad the host was organized. Lunch was really good time spent at the pool was relaxing.

This was an extremely memorable day for my mother and I. Our guide stayed with us the entire day and gave a clear run down on what to expect for day. From how much to tip the locals who were working the volcano ,even being a buffer to make sure we weren’t being overcharged, to what lunch and the pool day(dangerous beach conditions)would consist of. She was a gem and made a huge impact on how great the day went. This is such a great deal, make sure you book!

We had an awesome time and the experience was incredible. I definitely recommend definitely reach out after booking to verify pickup location and communication through WhatsApp. Also bring towel, bag, and bottle water.

A different kind of experience that you do once in your lifetime. The mud bath is crowded but still relaxing. While you are told the massages, cleaning and holding of items is optional it is not really so expect to pay 40000 pesos per person while you are there. Be sure to have cash. The beach following the mud bath is the same beach at Marbella. Not the cleanest but not the worst. There is a pool you can swim in as well. Lunch was decent.
Hello, good afternoon, thank you for your comment. Regarding the additional services, they are only available if you request them; otherwise, they do not charge you for a service not received.
We did a few tours in Colombia and this guide was the best one! David is super friendly and goes above and beyond, we definitely recommend doing this activity on this tour!
Thank you so much for your comment. We're delighted you enjoyed your activity. Unique Travel and the entire team do everything possible to ensure you enjoy your vacation.
AMAZING!!! A must do N Cartagena. The drive 2 this mountain of mineral mud is not far from the city. Our guide was funny, informative and engaging. The playa stop and lunch on the way back was so refreshing. ENJOY!
Hello, thank you for your comments. Unique Travel appreciates your honesty about your experience
The "volcano" is a man made mud mound with a hole in the top and mud inside. You get to spend about 15-20 minutes in it depending on how many tourists are there. The locals push an mud massage (rubbing mud on your back for 30 seconds) for 10K, hold your shoes for 10K, help you wash mud off at the lake for 10K. You about have to fight to refuse these services. Minus the locals trying to get the extras it was sort of a neat experience. After the mud you go to a little beach hotel for lunch, pool, and ocean. Reasonable prices on alcohol and no one harasses you there. My guide was great. Probably one of the highlights of the trip.
Hello, thank you for your comments. Unique Travel appreciates your honesty about your experience; however, the volcano is completely natural, not artificial as you have stated. Sincerely, Yeniffer Osorio
