Private Tour to the Mud Volcano
Overview
In this beautiful place you will discover a mud volcano that has the properties of the dead sea, in which you can enter, but you will never be able to touch the bottom, due to the chemical properties of the mud. In addition, the mud has healing properties that help your skin stop the aging process. All this while you and your friends or family have fun discovering and understanding this new experience. We will also visit the Galerazamba salt flats where we will see how a microorganism turns the water pink, but this attraction is temporary and depends on the weather conditions, so it only has a pink color from April to May. (But it will depend on whether it rains or not, since the rain melts the salt crystals and dilutes the pink color).
Inclusions
- Private transportation
- bilingual guide
- Snacks - 2 Empanada or Arepa + 1 Water or Soda (per person)

Which is a salt mine located in the municipality of Galerazamba and the pink coloration of the sea is due to a natural phenomenon derived from the great concentration of saline in the waters. When the rain falls, the drops of water break the granules of salt and create this phenomenon. Likewise, the sea has halophilic microalgae that produce beta-carotene, creating environments of high salinity.
The pink sea is not a place to bathe in the water, it is rather to admire its pink color, take some photos, learn about this natural phenomenon and support the local communities that live from the arrival of tourists to this place.
You should also know that the Pink sea is a seasonal attraction, which is why it is only available for some months of the year, and depend on if it is raining or not because when rain comes then the salt melts and the pink color can be diluted.

This was one of the best experiences we’ve had!!! First of all, if you’re deciding between a group tour and private DO THIS PRIVATE TOUR. We got picked up exactly at 7am and got to the volcano before anyone else. We had the entire experience to ourselves. They said with the larger group tours it could be a long wait in the heat and tons of people in the mud with you. Our guide was great and made this experience extra special for us.analucia80

The tour guide was really knowledgeable, he gave us all the advices necessaries to make this experience unforgettable, we just can not describe this experience for you, you must book and make it. The people at the mud volcano were really helpful, we would like to bring cash enough to tip them.

Having a private tour was amazing, it was basically just us and another couple there. Our tour guide was great! We arrived super early, we loved it, it was such an incredible experience.

Our guide was great. Friendly, animated, informative and very attentive It is an experience for younger to middle age not for our elders. The stairs are steep and when stepping into or out of mud is slippery. They do their best to assist you but it could be a bit dangerous. But no complaints it was a one in a life time experience. The pink sea was not as pink as we had hoped but it was still a nice experience if you enjoy history and learning about cultures and anthropology. It was great. Do afternoon tour if you like to pose for nice pics at pink sea first. Enjoy!
