Beat the crowds with a private, guided trip to Colombia's famous mud volcano.
Climb into the warm, mineral-rich mud of the Totumo Volcano with a dedicated private guide, choosing a morning or afternoon departure to avoid the busiest hours.
El Totumo is a small, roughly 15-meter volcanic mud cone about an hour from Cartagena, where visitors climb a short staircase into the crater to float in warm mud. This private version pairs you with a dedicated guide for the full visit rather than a shared group schedule, with a choice of morning or afternoon departure to avoid the largest crowds, a rinse-off in the nearby lagoon afterward, and a tasting of Colombian cuisine.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.
Private hotel or accommodation pickup in Cartagena, with return transport included.
A small mud volcano roughly an hour from Cartagena, famous for its mineral-rich mud bath.
Your private guide helps you through the mud bath process with clear instructions.
A nearby lagoon where you rinse off after the mud bath.
A stop to sample local Colombian dishes as part of the visit.
Back to your hotel, home, or the airport — whenever your day wraps up.
Climb into the warm, mineral-rich mud of the Totumo Volcano with a dedicated private guide, choosing a morning or afternoon departure to avoid the busiest hours.

El Totumo is about 15 metres (roughly 49 feet) tall and sits around 50 km northeast of Cartagena, rising out of saline marshland in the municipality of Santa Catalina. It is a mud volcano, meaning it is pushed up by gas and fluid from deep underground rather than by magma, so the mud is cool to warm rather than hot.
Visitors climb a wooden staircase to the crater and lower themselves into dense, mineral-rich mud that holds you afloat. Claims you may hear about the mud's depth run into the thousands of metres and sources disagree, so it is safest to say it is very deep and leave it there. Local lore adds that a priest once turned a fiery volcano to mud by sprinkling holy water into it, which is a legend rather than geology.
Afterward, local attendants and the nearby lagoon handle the washing-off, a quirk of the visit that most travellers remember best.
