Unforgettable tours and experiences from our clients
See what our clients have to say about their incredible tours through Bogotá and various destinations across Colombia.
We wanted something different from beaches and the old town, and Totumo was perfect for that. It is a little messy, funny and relaxing at the same time. The guide was friendly and kept the day organized. Not a polished spa experience, more like a local adventure, but very worth doing.
Lucas M BrazilA very unique experience outside Cartagena. The climb is short, the mud bath is fun and the lagoon rinse after is part of the adventure. I appreciated having private transportation and a guide who helped us understand how everything worked. Wear an old swimsuit and do not overthink it.
Emily R United KingdomThe mud volcano was strange in the best possible way. You float in the mud and cannot really sink, which makes everybody laugh after the first two minutes. Our guide explained what to expect before we arrived, which was helpful. It is rustic, not fancy, but definitely memorable.
