Preguntas Frecuentes

¿Qué es en realidad el Volcán de Lodo El Totumo?

El Volcán del Totumo es una formación activa singular y de cono bajo; la boca emana un espeso lodo mineral permanentemente y tibio en el que se cree subyacen propiedades curativas, operando igual a un balneario natural y agreste.

¿A cuánto tiempo o distancia queda el volcán respecto a la ciudad?

Aproximadamente a un trayecto lineal de 50 kilómetros al norte sobre la Vía al Mar, por lo que demanda un viaje cercano a los 45 – 55 minutos en automotor desde el Centro Histórico.

¿Cómo se accede y es seguro pisar el lodo?

Al escalar una robusta escalera de madera por las paredes del pequeño cono y destapar dentro encontrarás un lodo peculiar en el cual la densidad elevada imposibilita hundirte; te recuestas en él sintiendo cosquillas a salvo.

¿Dónde me enjuago todo el barro?

Junto al montículo se forma una ciénega salobre dulce (laguna de Totumo). Terminas bajando ahí. Con gran cortesía, las experimentadas damas residentes (comunidad Totumo) intervienen asistiéndote en bañarte rápido utilizando rústicas totumas de baldes y agua limpia natural de allí.

¿El barro volcánico de allí sí beneficia a la piel?

Médicamente inofensivos para el humano, los suelos arcillosos alojan múltiples elementos saludables concentrando gran carga del orden de calcio, magnesio natural, sulfuros y silicio útiles exfoliando la piel dándole luego gran lisura o suavidad palpable.

¿Con qué atuendo recomiendan que deba transitar la visita del cráter?

Traje viejo que se utilice como prenda de bañar cómoda dada la tenacidad terrosa del barro volcánico si tratas en algún momento lavarlo por completo en un par de pasadas (una tanga vieja basta o bañador de años para ambos).

¿Aquellos servicios dentro de lava como son cobrados o asisten gratuitamente?

Todos esos favores logísticos operacionales nacen fundamentalmente como las pequeñas cooperaciones de subsistir de habitantes veredales. Masajes o bañadas (mujeres locales, fotógrafos niños del patio) solo les gratificamos bajo modelo de 'Propinas modestas sugeribles'. Vuestro respetable guía privado detallará este aspecto folclórico y lo tramita y facilita.

¿Es el tour del Totumo una labor corta o me consumirá horas del día por entero?

Representa a la perfección un formato 'Medio día'. Completa, transitar por unos 180 min es lo general o hasta los límites de 4 horas; muy útil y de provecho mañanero para liberar en libre tarde con otros eventos turísticos al regresar con tiempo y holgura.

¿Cuáles tours suelen poder conectarse en concordancia con un tour al volcán?

Durante sus estacionales fases rojizas maravillosas entre dos picos trimestrales del año o fechas de sequía (ej: Fines Enero a Inicios Abril), sin duda fusionarlo con las salinas majestuosas de Galerazamba y un vistazo por el paraje histórico afín (Mar Rosado - Pink Sea Colombia), logran combos extraordinarios y plenos en su paseo visual.

¿Ustedes proporcionan la ida y la vuelta (transportación de llegada)?

Exactamente sí; nuestras exclusivas reservaciones cobijan absolutamente recogidas y devoluciones íntegras de punto exacto donde reside a modo y confort por la empresa.
