- Each traveler is allowed a maximum of (1) suitcase or carry-on bag. Do NOT allowed oversized or excessive luggage.
- Valuables Security: Upon arrival at the volcano, please keep your valuables secure. We make the vehicle we travel in available as a safe space where all guests can leave their belongings. The vehicle will serve as your secure location.
- Tipping and Local Community: The native community of this village relies solely on the commercial activity of the volcano. It is common for local residents to offer assistance with items you carry and subsequently ask for a tip. Tipping should be voluntary and at your discretion. To simplify the process and avoid solicitations, we highly recommend ascending the volcano without any personal items—just go in the clothes you intend to enter the mud with.
- Massage and Exfoliation: Once inside the volcano, there are local individuals who offer massages. Please make it very clear if you do or do not want this massage and exfoliation service.
- Cleaning Service: When exiting the volcano, a group of local women will offer to clean the mud off your body in a natural lake. If you do not wish to use this service, you are also welcome to clean yourself on your own.
- Extra Costs: Please note that any assistance you receive, regardless of whether it is offered by the guide or not, will incur an extra cost.
Traveler reviews
Good
We had a wonderful time. Ceasar was a respectful, friendly, and great host. His partner Micra was respectful. He thoroughly explained what our trip included and how to go about our interactions with the locals that worked at the location. His English was perfect if you're concerned about having a host that translates well.

Too many animals around during the snack
Very unreliable, they can cancel on you
This was a terribly unreliable company, when I ask confirmation if I can book, they confirmed it was an option. Then as soon as I paid they sent me a message that they were going to cancel it and they did not issue me a refund. They instructed me to go third parties to get the refund, which I have not yet received. I highly recommend choosing an alternate company.
My trip to the Volcano
Great excursion. Super fun and unique. Tour guide was great!
Terrible experience
They never contacted me; I was the one who established communication an hour before the activity. I was ready at 8 in the hotel lobby, as my ticket instructions said. They notified me that they would begin the pickup process at 9:30. I waited without success. At 9:48 they told me they were still in the pickup process And at 10:03 they tell me that they are rescheduling the activity for the next day, because they evacuated the volcano area due to the earthquake. To which I replied that it was not possible on my part, since I would be returning to my country. I requested a refund for the activity, which they questioned, and to this moment I have not received it.
