Overview

Here are the key elements that make the El Totumo Mud Volcano Tour truly stand out:

1. A One-of-a-Kind Natural Spa

The Volcán El Totumo offers an experience you won't find anywhere else. The mud pool is a dense, mineral-rich slurry that makes it impossible to sink—you simply float effortlessly. This natural buoyancy is incredibly relaxing, while the mineral content provides a powerful natural exfoliation, detoxification, and renewal for your skin.

Relaxation Focus: Choose the Morning or Afternoon Option for a quick, focused wellness treatment.

  • Volcan de Lodo El Totumo
    A Natural, Mineral-Rich Spa Unlike volcanic cones that erupt lava, El Totumo is a mud volcano, which is a fissure in the earth that constantly vents mud mixed with water and gas from deep underground. Size: It's small, standing about 50 feet (15 meters) high, accessible by a wooden staircase. The Mud: The mud is highly viscous, warm, and packed with minerals like silica, magnesium, calcium, sulfur, and iron. This composition is believed to have exfoliating, detoxifying, and therapeutic properties for the skin and muscles. 2. The Floating Sensation The most fascinating part is the density of the mud. It's so thick that it's impossible to sink. When you climb down into the crater, your body is naturally held afloat, creating a bizarre and wonderfully relaxing sensation of weightlessness. The Experience Visitors climb the stairs to the top, descend into the crater (which can only hold about 10–15 people at a time), and immerse themselves in the buoyant mud bath.
