To put it plainly, the Azores are a Geocaching Mecca! For the beginners, for those advanced, for the niche Geocachers who wouldn’t look twice at a Cache with a difficulty rating lower than a 4 on a 3+ terrain trail, it’s all here and there are thousands of them.
What is Geocaching? For anyone who doesn’t know, a Geocache is a hidden treasure / box / pot / jar, usually containing an interesting item or a log book for leaving your mark. You find these Caches by a location based app GEOCACHING where you can see the location, hints and clues and information left by previous Geocachers. What do you do when you find it? Sign the log book and put it back! That’s the game, it’s all about going to places and exploring areas you never would have discovered if it weren’t for the hunt for the Cache.
