For a totally different experience, try dipping in the mud volcano at Totumo, a half day trip from Cartagena. Even though the volcano might turn out to be smaller than expected, floating on mud is something quite unique.
The sun is burning on my closed eyes, and since the masseur pushes my head always deeper in the mud, I don't hear anything, either. It is a most pleasant sensation, and the only downside is that there are no female masseuses... After a while, the masseur pushes me to the other side of the crater, and I open my eyes again. I soon realize that it was not easy at all to move around, and walking is obviously out of the question since the bottom of the crater is several thousand metres below you. The most interesting part of this unusual mud bath is that, since it is an active volcano, there are frequent mud bubbles coming up and popping open with a fat sound once they reach the surface. The only question is, how to get rid of the mud after you are sent out of the crater? You can walk down to the lagoon behind the Totumo volcano, where several women wait for you to rub off the mud, asking you to take of your clothes. Feeling refreshed and with a much healthier skin, I stepped into our minivan.
