Walled City of Cartagena

This option will allow you to explore Cartagena's Old City on a single, shared guide city food tour that reveals its colonial history, pirate battles, and independence, all while celebrating Caribbean food and the legacy of magical realism. Your memorable experience begins with an empanada welcome snack and historical talk at the Clock Tower rooftop. The journey includes sweets at Portal de Los Dulces (at vendor's discretion), museum previews (no entries included), church visits, a fruit welcome drink, ice cream, and coffee tasting.

Volcan de Lodo El Totumo (Mud Volcano)

3h
Admission ticket not included

This option brings you to the bizarre and therapeutic magic of the Volcán de Lodo El Totumo on this essential half-day tour from Cartagena. We provide round-trip, air-conditioned transportation and a local guide for cultural context. Upon arrival, you'll descend into the warm, dense, mineral-rich mud for 15-20 minutes, enjoying a weightless, skin-softening sensation. This experience directly supports the local community who manage the site and services, so please bring small Colombian Pesos (COP) cash for the mandatory Volcano Entrance Fee (approx. COP $10,000) and the Rinse-Off Fee (approx. COP $5,000) paid on-site. Budget extra for optional massages or photo tips and prepare for an unforgettable natural spa day. Note: (10:30 AM - 1:30 PM).

This option kicks off your evening with the ultimate start to Cartagena's famous nightlife! Board a high-energy speedboat cruise for two hours across the stunning Cartagena Bay as the sun sets. This is your ideal pre-party experience: unwind to vibrant Colombian music, perfect for dancing and mingling with local and international crowds (BYO liquor encouraged). The fun seamlessly flows into an optional free after-party experience, beginning at a Historic Center rooftop with a complimentary drink, followed by a guided walk through artistic Getsemaní (street art, photo ops, free welcome shot at a bar), culminating at a popular nightclub. Note: (5:00 PM - 7:00 PM with Optional After Party from 7:00 PM to 12:00 AM). Outside beverages are allowed and encouraged. There is no port tax. Men must wear pants and closed footwear for after party.
