In this beautiful place you will discover a mud volcano that has the properties of the dead sea, in which you can enter, but you will never be able to touch the bottom, due to the chemical properties of the mud. In addition, the mud has healing properties that help your skin stop the aging process. All this while you and your friends or family have fun discovering and understanding this new experience. We will also visit the Galerazamba salt flats where we will see how a microorganism turns the water pink, but this attraction is temporary and depends on the weather conditions, so it only has a pink color from April to May. (But it will depend on whether it rains or not, since the rain melts the salt crystals and dilutes the pink color). We only take you there in April and may

Mr. Gilberto Leon was an extraordinary, nice, and professional tour guide. He made us feel safe and very accommodating. We loved that he had a big, clean van with A/C! He helped us with our bags, towels and let us know what was customary to give the locals that helped us with pictures and washing in the lagoon at the end. Thank you for a great, once in a life time experience!!

I loved my visit to the mud volcano 🤩 We left early (6:30 a.m.) so there were only two people there at the same time as us! We had the volcano to ourselves for at least 20 minutes. The advantage of taking a private tour :) plus Gilberto was great! His English was almost perfect, he's even learning French at the moment :) We stopped at the pink sea, a salt mine. It wasn't the ideal time to see her because the salt was just starting to appear. But I still liked going to visit because I liked the concept :) Via WhatsApp we have fast service if we have any questions! Agency and activated outstanding :)

We had the best time! We traveled with our two small kids, 3 and 5 yo and also grandma, 73 yo. We were able to go early and avoid the crowds. Gina our tour guide was the best we had the entire time we were in Cartagena! She was so engaging and also was just so great to learn from! We would highly recommend this tour!

Definitely do this as a private tour. There might be 1-2 others in the mud with you but that's it and you get to stay in the mud for a while. On the group tour you wait in line for a long time just to 'dunk' in the mud long enough for 1 picture. We saw buses with groups pulling up when we were done and I was so pleased we did it as a private tour. The mud allows you to float - it holds you up like a hammock. It's a really unique experience.

We hired a taxi driver to take us on a private tour to the volcano. It was the most fun we ever had. Even though the volcano is very deep, it feels as if you are swimming in gray-colored Elmer’s glue. Very interesting experience…. One of a kind. Make sure to bring a lot of cash because everyone has their hand out for tips. Not busy at all in the month of January.

Gilberto was an amazing guide and helped us navigate how to enjoy the mud volcano, and shared fascinating history of the area. The cost of going early & private was worth it - I can’t imagine this excursion with a crowd. We were traveling with our toddler and he was accommodating and flexible with timing, needs, and stops. A wonderful experience overall!

After doing some research, I opted to do the private transportation with the company versus getting on a bus with a lot of people and being there all day. It was so worth it!!! I would say to go early when it’s less crowded before the other tour companies arrive. We did the 7:30am time and our driver arrived on time and was awesome. When we arrived, we were the only ones in the mud and we stayed in there for about 30-40 mins before getting out and didn’t feel rushed at all. Bring cash for tips as you will have someone holding your belongings, another person taking your pictures and videos on your phone, the guy in the mud volcano (offers massages we opted out of that), and you will get a lady to wash you off in the river. We gave the money to our driver and told him how we wanted it distributed. The food was also amazing. We were back by our hotel before noon and were able to enjoy the rest of our day without it being an all day thing. Definitely recommend!!!
