We also have a great relationship with the best sea-food restaurant on the beach here and can get our guests very competitive rates. You can either eat on the beach or if you prefer they will bring a platter of fresh fish for you to choose then you can dine on the terrace of your apartment. Great for a romantic evening.
Totumo Volcano
Over the years, errupting gases have created the volcano of Totumo, although technically it is a volcano it seems more like a huge ant hill. The crater of Totumo's famous little vocano is full of very thick grey therapeutic mud, ideal for a once-in-a-life time experience of mud bathing. Supposedly more than 200 meters deep, it is impossible to sink lower than your chest because of the viscosity. After walloing in the mud you can wash off in the fresh water lagoon. The volcano of Totumo is about 45 minutes from the apartment. We can help you arrange a day trip or if you prefer we can even accompany you ... yes, we also enjoy playing in the mud.
Rumba en Chiva
From time to time when walking around the down-town area of Cartagena, especially at night, you can hear load music and see people dancing and having fun in a bus! Well, these buses, called "chivas" are a great and fun way to see some of the city and meet people. If you like a little crazy fun time then this is certainly not to be missed. The happy and festive city awaits as these traditionally brightly pained buses make their tour, which includes a typical local band and a bar with national liquors.
The tout takes you through the narrow streets of Cartagena and then through the touristic area of Bocagrande and the residential area of the Island of Manga and then through the old walled town.

Tour of the Mangroves, La Boquilla - Manglares Tour
A short 5 minute walk from our rental apartment in La Boquilla will take you to the outer edge of the Cienaga de la Virgin, from there you will take a traditional wooden dug-out canoe through the various tunnels (tunnel of love, tunnel of amistad, tunnel del felicidad) created by the naturally overgrown root system of the mangroves. There are various tours available, some taking you to Playa d'oro in Manzanillo, other to a nice little island with an open air exhibition of pre-colombian artifacts. Which ever tour you take you will see numerous bird species, coloured crabs and natives fishing the rich waters. A great day out, our advice: take an umbrella, the sun out there can literraly cook you alive. Once again, we can help you get a good deal, you can find tours on the internet for as much as 150,000 pesos each. Forget those prices, it's really not necessary to get ripped off to have a nice day out.
