Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

ES- En Parque Taoro, en el centro de Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. D- Im Taoro Park, im Zentrum von Puerto de la Cruz, Teneriffa. GB- In Taoro park, in the centre of Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife.
ES- Situado en los bonitos jardines del antiguo hotel de Taoro, ahora públicos. El sitio donde está el caché es considerado por muchos como un lugar tranquilo para meditar y aislarse del bullicio de la ciudad. El parque se usa ahora para el disfrute de la gente y para charlar al aire libre.
Localizado en la cima de una colina, se accede a él fácilmente en coche. Es un lugar para detenerse a tomar un bocadillo o para pasar un rato “chill out”. El banco es un buen lugar para sentarse mientras registras el caché o simplemente para leer la prensa.

El recipiente del caché es un tupper normal. La integridad del contenido está asegurada por su cierre hermético. Para cerrar el recipiente, apriete en el centro de la tapa mientras permite la salida de aire a través de una esquina. Contiene un libro de registro, un par de lápices y unos artículos pequeños.

El caché está cerca de una zona de juegos infantiles y es un paseo fácil desde cualquier lugar del Puerto. Por favor, intercambie sólo objetos aptos para toda la familia. Los niños pueden jugar en la zona infantil mientras usted intercambia en el caché.

Mientras busca o esconde el caché, tenga cuidado con los geomuggles que hacen footing o pasean a sus perros. Puede haber mucha gente entre las 17.00 y 21.00 h.

Actualmente: El Ayuntamiento está arreglando la escalera que sube hasta al parque. Mientras duren las obras, usted tendrá que subir andando por la acera de la carretera. El restaurante/café del mirador también está cerrado, de momento.


D- Der Cache liegt innerhalb des gärtnerisch schön gestalteten Areals des alten Taoro Hotels, welches jetzt vom Gemeinderat als öffentliches Land übernommen wurde. Das Gelände wird von vielen Menschen als ruhiger Platz bevorzugt, um ihre Gedanken in Mitten des Gedränges und der Hektik des Stadtlebens zu sammeln. Der Park dient jetzt ausschließlich dem Vergnügen und der Entspannung. Gelegen an der Oberseite eines Hügels, ist er leicht mit dem Auto oder zu Fuß erreichbar. Es ist ein Platz, um Halt zu machen, einen kleinen Happen zu essen oder einen Moment zu entspannen. Die Bank eignet sich gut zum Loggen oder auch um eine lokale Zeitung zu lesen.

Die Dose ist ein Standard-Tupperware- Behälter. Die Siegel-Integrität wird durch Unterdruck gesichert. Um den Behälter wieder zu versiegeln - Deckel schließen, im Zentrum des Deckels drücken, damit Luft an einer Ecke entweichen kann und anschließend Deckel fest zudrücken. Die Dose enthält ein Logbuch, einige Bleistifte und einige kleine Sachen. Der Cache befindet sich in der Nähe eines Kinderspielplatzes. Ein leichter Spaziergang führt dich von überall in Puerto hierher. Legt bitte nur familienfreundliche Gegenstände in den Cache. Auf den Spielplatz können die Kinder dann gleich mit erhandelten Dingen spielen.

Wenn Ihr sucht oder versteckt, gebt auf Jogger oder Hunde-Muggel acht. Zwischen 17.00 und 21.00 Uhr ist hier besonders viel los.

Aktualisierung: Der Gemeinderat hat entschieden, den schönen Wasserfall-Gehweg auszubauen, der vom Stadtzentrum auf den Hügel zum Park führt. Bis die Arbeiten vollendet sind, muss man den Fußweg entlang der Straße nehmen. Das Restaurant/Café am Aussichtspunkt ist im Moment auch geschlossen.


GB- Set within the beautifully landscaped grounds of the old Taoro hotel, now taken over by the council as public land, the location of this cache is favoured by many as a quiet place to collect one's thoughts in the middle of the busy hustle and bustle of town life. The park is now used solely for pleasure and those taking time out. Located at the top of a hill, easily accessed by car or foot, its a place to stop have a sandwich or chill out for a while. The bench is a good place to sit while filling in the log, or just to read a local paper.

Standard tupperware container. The seal integrity is secured by low pressure. To reseal the container, press the lid on, then press in the centre of the lid while allowing air out through one corner. Contains a log book, a couple of pencils and a few small items. Cache is near a children's play area, and is an easy walk from anywhere within Puerto. Please place only family friendly objects in the cache. Children can play in the play area while you negotiate the contents of the cache.

When searching or hiding, watch out for muggles jogging or walking their dogs. It can get busy between 17.00 and 21.00.

Update: The town council has decided to upgrade the beautiful waterfall walkway leading from the town centre up the hill to the park. Until work has been completed, you'll have to walk along the footway alongside the road. The restaurant/cafe at the viewpoint is also closed at the moment.

The Grand Hotel Taoro in 1890

You have heard of "The Ritz", "The Waldorf Astoria" or perhaps "The Raffles Hotel"? Well around the world there are good hotels and there are grand hotels. We all would love to stay in one of them if only for just one night. About a centuary ago, The Taoro Hotel was just such a place. It was renowned throughout the world as one of the very best hotels to stay in whilst on your long distance sea voyage to a far distant continent.
The old Taoro gardens where the cache is hidden.

Tenerife was a stop-over location whilst your sailing or steam ship restocked provisions. This magnificent building has changed hands many times, and eventually fell into disrepair, and was abandoned. It was taken over in about 1985 and run as a casino, but even that is no longer operating. Again it has been deserted. The huge garden was taken control of by the local council around 1980 and is now called the Taoro Park.
The South side of the Grand Old Hotel.

These ancient photos I've managed to get (are presently displayed in the Hotel Miramar foyer next door to the old Taoro), are from the time just after it opened in 1890. While exploring the modern gardens that have only just been completed, try to visualise how magnificent the long walkway down the centre must have been. Truly a majestic place fit for a king. Enjoy!

Zusammen mit harri70 gefunden. Wir mussten, wegen der Muggel, die die Bank blockiert haben, erst noch einen Kaffee trinken im Bella Risco. Dann im zweiten Anlauf nach etwas Suchen gefunden. TFTC

Unser 1. Cache auf Teneriffa. Wegen sehr hartnaeckiger Sitzmuggel und Laufmuggel mussten wir stundenlang aufs Loggen warten. Einen Teil der Wartenzeit haben wir dazu benutzt, uns den Risco Bello anzusehen und uns im Cafe zu staerken.

On a beautiful day in spring ( january !!!) we drove to PdlC and couldn't resist the temptation to search a geocache. On the famous bench we saw someone reading a book... a very thick book... so there was no doubt that this was a fellow geocacher waiting for a split second without muggles to search the cache ;-) We agreed to divide the roles: one of us had to distract the muggles, one way or another, and the other could search the cache... At least that was the plan.

Anyway we found it after some time, but it's not so easy to find "the" rock among so many other "ordinary" rocks.
