Treasure hunt is a mania spreading fast around Limassol!

There are some games that you can play on a computer and some others that can be played out in the neighborhoods. However, there are some games without any geographic borders and without many limitations or rules. If you have an explorer sleeping deep within you and you are a huge fan of adventure, then this article might interest you.

This is a sort of a hidden treasures game. Geocaching, is a recreational activity taking place outdoors. The players are using a GPS receiver or a mobile device to hide and seek containers, known as “caches” that are marked by coordinates and are set in several locations around the world. As you understand, Limassol could not be left out from the map of this Worldwide game and there are already many aspiring hunters between us…

Usually, a cache is a small, waterproof box that contains a log and a pencil. What? That’s all? No! The hunter must be prepared for going out in the city’s streets, beside beaches and in the countryside. You must be willing to learn, to observe and, of course, to walk a lot. After you load the map and decide to which geocaching spot you are about to head to, you must be careful and focused because almost every cache is hidden and it’s not publicly displayed. But don’t worry, you will not need to dig a lot.

If you are lucky enough to find and catch a cache, you ought to write down the date and go online to update the system by submitting the cache’s unique code. Then, you must place the cache back in the exact same spot, where you have found it, for the rest to play. Just for the record, there are larger caches as well. Some of the larger caches might contain gifts of greater value and toys, as well as souvenirs and items of rather a sentimental than a financial value.

This is for sure a different game that can make you go out, think, play, explore, read and learn so much about the world. So here is a good opportunity to update your portfolio with unforgettable memories that will accompany you for a lifetime. At the end of the day, this is one more way to experience Limassol and get connected with people that happened to be in the right place at the right moment. Have fun!
