Itinerary
Skip the crowds, this volcano is yours. While tour buses arrive mid morning with 30 + strangers in line, you'll enter the mud volcano with no lines, or crowds, no pushing, no rushing. We pick you up early, before the buses leave Cartagena, so you often have the volcano nearly to yourselves. Your dedicated bilingual private guide stays with you the whole time, focused only on your group, not managing a busload of strangers. Float in the volcano's dense, mineral rich mud, known for its skin softening, stress relieving properties. Local attendants help you exclusively, safely and offer an optional relaxing massage. Afterward, rinse off in the nearby lagoon, where local women traditionally help wash away the mud, then enjoy a Colombian traditional food tasting before heading back. Tipping the local community who maintains this site is customary; your guide will help coordinate this for you. Includes: private round trip private transport, dedicated guide, entrance fee, and food tasting.

About Cartagena
Cartagena, on Colombia's Caribbean coast, is a walled colonial port of flower-draped balconies, colourful plazas and warm, music-filled evenings.
The walled old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of cobbled streets and squares lined with pastel houses, churches and bougainvillea. The Clock Tower gate leads into Plaza de los Coches, and the cathedral, the Church of San Pedro Claver and the Palace of the Inquisition are all within a few blocks. Walking the thick ramparts at sunset is a local ritual.
Top-ranked sights in Cartagena: Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario), Old Town Cartagena, Santo Domingo Church (Iglesia de Santo Domingo).
