What is Geocaching?

Geocaching is a global game of hide-and-seek that uses GPS devices or smartphones to locate hidden containers, called geocaches. These containers can be anything from small plastic boxes to elaborate wooden structures, and they often contain logbooks where you can record your visit and leave a message for other geocachers.

Getting Started

To get started with geocaching, you'll need a GPS device or a smartphone with a GPS app. There are many free and paid apps available, such as Geocaching® by Groundspeak and Cachly.

Once you have a GPS device or app, you can create a free account on the official Geocaching® website (www.geocaching.com) to access the vast database of geocaches. Simply enter your location or a specific area to find nearby geocaches. Each geocache listing includes detailed information about the cache, including its size, difficulty, terrain, and any special equipment you may need.
