En Route to El Totumo: A Run-In with the Police
As I embarked on the road to El Totumo, little did I know that the journey itself would add an unexpected twist. On the way, we got pulled over by the police. It might sound like a hiccup, but trust me, it turned out to be a funny incident that set the tone for the day.
Culinary Delights: Arepas and Egg-filled Adventures
Now, let’s talk about the culinary side of my Cartagena adventure. The arepas in the video were a quick snack filled with only egg. Admittedly, they were okay tasting, but when you’re in the middle of nowhere and hunger strikes, you take what you can get. A lesson in embracing the unexpected, for sure.
Tips for Your Mud Volcano Excursion: Bring Dollar Bills!
If you’re planning to visit El Totumo, here’s a pro tip – bring some dollar bills with you. Tipping is customary, and everyone involved in making your mud volcano adventure memorable expects a little appreciation. It’s a small gesture that goes a long way in enhancing your overall experience.
The White Bathing Suit Mystery: A Bold Choice
Now, let’s address the elephant in the mud bath – why, oh why, did I choose to wear a white bathing suit? Your guess is as good as mine! But here’s the twist – despite the questionable choice, all the mud washed off, and I emerged from the experience unscathed, albeit with a few laughs.
A 2022 Revisit: Two Tales of Mud and Rain
Fast forward to 2022, and I found myself back at El Totumo, recreating the exact same video. The first time, the weather was fantastic, and the mud in the volcano was thick and inviting. However, during the second visit, rain decided to join the party. The mud was thinner, and to add a bit of “gross” factor, there were dead mosquitoes everywhere. Two different experiences, but both equally memorable.

Wrapping up my mud-filled saga, El Totumo is a must-try if you’re in Cartagena. It’s not just an adventure; it’s an experience that combines relaxation, laughter, and a touch of the unexpected. A truly unique addition to the list of things to do in Cartagena.
