I had an absolutely amazing experience on the Palquena and Totumo Mud Volcano tour! From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized, welcoming, and unforgettable. The guide was a native from Palquena and was warm, knowledgeable, and made the entire day feel fun and effortless. Palquena was truly the heart of the experience for me. The moment we arrived, I felt embraced by the vibrant Afro-Colombian culture that fills the community. The stunning street art, the music, the stories, and the people all radiated pride, resilience, and joy. As a Black woman, it was powerful and deeply meaningful to feel so seen and celebrated. And the Totumo Mud Volcano… truly one-of-a-kind! The mud bath was so much fun, and the staff made the experience feel both safe and enjoyable. Overall, this tour was the perfect blend of adventure, culture, and natural beauty. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cartagena — it’s definitely a must-do and one of the highlights of my entire trip!
