Description

In Colombia there are two mud volcanoes, one located in Arboletes, Antioquia and another located in the rural area of the Municipality of Santa Catalina next to CARTAGENA DE INDIAS, COLOMBIA, next to the Totumo reservoir, the latter is our attraction to visit in this activity. .
It is an attractive and popular place for being full of “medicinal mud”, its natives say that it is healing due to its components such as; water, silica, aluminum, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron and more minerals. According to testimonies from residents and visitors, it generates therapeutic qualities, leaving a positive appearance on the skin and relieving muscle and joint pain. In summer, the volume of mud in the volcanic cone decreases; In winter, due to the swamp next to the volcano, it fills to the point of overflowing.
Its access road connects the city of Cartagena with Barranquilla. Therefore, the departments of Bolívar and Atlántico live with the dilemma of who is the owner, a dispute that has only harmed the place because by not knowing who is responsible for the attraction, neither of the two jurisdictions has taken the initiative to invest to its improvement. . Of the same. Being at the Volcano, for approximately 30 minutes, we have included entry and immersion in the attraction between 10 to 15 minutes maximum (due to its components, too much can cause the opposite of its main characteristic), in the place they offer massages, drinks of photographs (with personal mobile devices) and bathing service with totuma in the swamp by a native who is in charge of removing the mud from the people. Payment for these services is voluntary.
