It's called: Volcan de Lodo El Totumo. The story goes that it was a volcano looking like it might erupt, and a nice priest threw holy water on it, a lot. Overtime it blossoms into a wonderful mud-bath that has no bottom we could find.
The experience goes like this:
Climb stairs to volcano top & down into mud.
Let locals slide you through the mud & give you a massage.
Float. We are not touching bottom ever. You just sort of hang out there, and it took all my effort to try to drop down further in the mud. Definitely no bottom I could touch.
It's one of the wierdest sensations I've ever experienced. We liken it to floating in chocolate pudding (although not as tastey).
Oh, and if anyone has swam in mud elsewhere in the world, do let me know, I can't wait to do it again. This trip is 2 hours east of Cartagena, $17/person with lunch & beach trip.
We're silly and adventurous, computer geeks and yoga peeps.
