You'll be picked up from your hotel in the morning and whisked away north to the renowned El Totumo volcano.
Picture this - a 15-meter-high crater concealing a natural pool of therapeutic mud at its peak. A true treasure! This volcano, exuding an authentic charm, is meticulously maintained by the local community. They'll guide you up the stairs to the summit, where you'll be greeted by a spectacular view - an untouched landscape stretching all the way to the Totomo swamp. Then comes the moment to approach the crater. Fear not, despite appearing bottom-less, sinking into this magical mud is impossible! According to legend, El Totumo was once a fiery volcano until a priest sprinkled holy water on it, believing it to be devil's work. But rest assured, upon entering, you'll find it's pure mud, rich with minerals beneficial for your skin. So go ahead, cover yourself in it! After basking in the soothing warmth of this mud bath, you'll descend to the Totomo swamp to rinse off. The locals will offer a gentle massage for a small tip - it's all part of the experience!
Feeling refreshed and with rejuvenated skin, you'll leave El Totumo volcano behind and continue your journey to a charming hotel where a sunny afternoon awaits with lunch included. To conclude this splendid day exploring one of Colombia's geological wonders, you'll return to Cartagena in the late afternoon.
