Here are the key elements that make the El Totumo Mud Volcano Tour truly stand out:
1. A One-of-a-Kind Natural Spa
The Volcán El Totumo offers an experience you won't find anywhere else. The mud pool is a dense, mineral-rich slurry that makes it impossible to sink—you simply float effortlessly. This natural buoyancy is incredibly relaxing, while the mineral content provides a powerful natural exfoliation, detoxification, and renewal for your skin.
2. The Power of Customization
Unlike standard tours, you get to choose the pace and style of your day based on your schedule and preferences:
Relaxation Focus: Choose the Morning or Afternoon Option for a quick, focused wellness treatment.
Full Day VIP: Upgrade to the Full VIP Day Option to combine the volcano with a transfer to an exclusive Beach Club for a relaxing.
The entire tourism operation at El Totumo is managed by the local community in Santa Catalina. By booking this tour, you are directly supporting the families and residents
