About this experience

Our experience starts very early in the morning with the goal of arriving before the big buses, which allows us to spend a good amount of time inside the mud and relax. You will receive a massage with the mud inside the volcano, when you get off the ladies at the lake will help you remove the mud from your body. At the bar, you will have a second freshwater shower with a natural soap. We will drink our personal bottle of mineral water to rest and take photos at the base of the volcano. We return to Cartagena to have lunch at a typical food restaurant in Getsemaní. We work with small groups of up to 10 passengers (unless the group of more than 10 passengers travels together) so we guarantee privacy and comfort. We take care of everything so that you can enjoy this special morning without worries.
