About this experience
The best of the Totumo Volcano experience goes far beyond just mud bathing. It is a unique combination of sensations, curiosity and a touch of the unusual that makes it a memorable activity.
The Unique Feeling of Floating Effortlessly: Immersing yourself in the dense, warm mud of the crater is a very particular physical experience. The high concentration of minerals makes your body float effortlessly, as if you were in space. This feeling of weightlessness is completely unlike anything else you have ever experienced.
The Touch and Texture of the Mud: The consistency of the sludge is smooth and unctuous, wrapping your body in a warm and comforting sensation (for some, it may initially be a little strange, but then it is enjoyed). Feeling the mud on your skin, covering you completely, is an unusual and pleasurable sensory experience.
Then enjoy a delicious lunch at a beach club.
