Tips, esp for women - (1) Wear a conservative one piece bathing suit. The massage is … vigorous.
(2) Whether or not you need it, wear a tampon. Trust me. Mud gets everywhere.
(3) Wear shoes with excellent grip, as the stairs are slippery and uneven.
(4) We went at 7am and were the only ones there. Strongly recommended.
(5) Do not assume you will go from the volcano to another event. You must go back to your hotel and hose off (no the showers there are not enough).
(6) Good experience overall but def once in a lifetime ;)

An unusual experience but overpriced - Being in the mud itself was a cool experience and enjoyable but the staff were quite aggressive demanding tips and grabbing them from your hand before being able to hand them out at the end. Our driver from the cruise ship and back spoke no English and we were told we would have an English speaking guide. We learned nothing about Colombia as we were not able to ask any questions about the country.
It was a very expensive excursion that we booked privately for only 15 minutes in the mud. We were encouraged to buy mud to take home and were told it would be 50 pesos or 25 US$. The conversion of 50 pesos is NOT 25$!!!
We were told we could stop for a beer after at the lagoon, but we were rushed back to the car to return to the port. If our driver spoke English ( as promised) we could have asked him to take us around the old city and enjoy exploring. We left at 8am and were back to the shop by 11:30am. We had three more hours to enjoy our visit but were dropped off at the port.
For 175 US$ it was not worth the money.

Missed out on the one experience I was looking forward to. - We never made it to the volcano. A hot three and half hour drive. Decided to go back to ship. Got back in one and a half hour after using the toll road ??? Was told there was a demonstration on that road. No English speaking guide. Was told he would be. Had to ask for water ! Was super to be provided.
