Totumo Volcano

Totumo is a real volcano that died and filled with mud.  It’s bottomless and you can’t sink.  The ride there was about 90 minutes. 


 As soon as the ride began we were given a little info about the gentrification of Cartagena... we aren’t he only ones being gentrified.

During the ride we relaxed and dozed on and off... after all is was siesta time.  When we got there we were well rested and ready to go!! 



Here’s my climb up. https://youtu.be/uNQZSMzTywc



Big Baby was the first one in and the other boys were right behind him.  Then me and Dr Malik went in.  It was slick and slipper.  Not a bad feeling but definitely... different.  


There were mud covered pebbles in the mud, a few were up top but as you stretched your legs further down into the mud you felt many more.  It was like floating in lumpy oatmeal.  




We stayed in for about a half hour and climbed out of the mud pit, careful not to slip and slide all over the place. 


Once out you are supposed to take a short walk to the neighboring lake to rinse off? That’s just what we did. 



After quickly cleaning off we headed back to the van.  The next stop was La Boquilla (a fishing village turned tourist beach and restaurant area) for lunch.
