El Totumo lies about 83 km south-west of the airport, in the department of Bolívar near the village of Loma de Arena. The route crosses Barranquilla and follows the coastal highway, the Vía al Mar (Ruta 90A), past Puerto Colombia, Juan de Acosta and Santa Verónica, then turns off towards the lagoon on a short local road. The drive usually takes 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes; the Vía al Mar has toll stations.
El Totumo is a small mud volcano about 15 metres high. A wooden staircase leads to the crater, where visitors float in warm, dense mud; local helpers offer massages and help with washing off afterwards in the lagoon next to the cone. Changing facilities and small food stalls are at the base. The site is about 50 km from Cartagena, so many travellers stop here on the way between Barranquilla and Cartagena. Mornings are usually quieter than midday, when tour groups arrive.
Public transport: There is no public transport from the airport to El Totumo is; the volcano lies on a rural road between Barranquilla and Cartagena.
