Perfect Unique Experience - This was the perfect bizarre/unique experience that my boyfriend and I were looking for. Our guide, Milton gave us good tips and explained how the process would work beforehand. After we got off the bus, we climbed a ladder and waited in a small line to get into the mud volcano. The volcano fits about 15 people. When you’re in the volcano, it feels like you are floating. At the top of the volcano, there are some kind locals who will take pics of you while you are in the volcano, give massages, and help you in and out. Then, you can get into a nearby lake and fully rinse off. Some other locals down there will help. After getting rinsed off, you can enjoy your arepa and drink before heading back. We had such a fun experience! Some Caveats: I probably would not take children under 14 because it may seem a bit overwhelming having random strangers touch them. Bring cash to tip the locals and to buy other food or drinks. This is how they make their living so be respectful. The steps getting up to the volcano are slippery and wide so be careful.

Unique adventure - We enjoyed our trip to the totumo volcano. The mud bath was an unforgettable experience and Milton was a great guide. The included lunch was good and they were able to accommodate my gluten free diet (celiac disease).

Good experience - don’t book via trip advisor book directly with BACKPACKERS - The tour experience was really good and everyone was so nice and friendly. DONT BOOK VIA NEXXT OR VIATOR- book via backpackers…The only feedback we have is that we had a really bad experience on the communication prior the tour. I couldn’t find our hotel on Trip advisor for tue pickup so I tried to contact someone from the Agency and no one ever replied
