About this audio guide
This guide to Volcan de Lodo El Totumo outside Cartagena opens with a legend: a priest who heard fire hissing beneath the marshland and climbed the volcano's cone with holy water to face what he believed was the devil himself. It follows what still rises from deep underground, and the ritual that grew around it, from climbing into a crowded crater where you float rather than sink, to a freshwater lagoon below.
