Placed in 2001 and the first physical physical cache in the country! Going to Guatemala, bring your GPS. This was the first one in Guatemala, but not the last I hope. You get to see some of the most impressive Maya-sites if you take this cache. Bring 150 Q for the entrance (2008)

THANKS to: G-O-CACHERS and then NLT for helping out with maintenance of the cache. It was placed before the "Vacation rule. Thanks also to Gpsmartyx for restoring in 2012"


This is our first cache in Guatemala. Visiting the beautiful city of Flores is a dream. You will probably make a trip to the "ruins" one of your days here? Bring your GPS then and take the canopy tour on your own :)

For nice lodging in Flores, try the upper new rooms at the Villa De Lago, a bargain for 150 Q with TV, air-con and nice view of the lake (2001). We had too little time to spend here, sad to say, we “must” move on to Belize tomorrow and then in a couple of weeks go back to Sweden, Europe.

We can also recommend the Canopy Tour. Going on wires across the jungle is really worth the $25 (2001).

The cache is (from 2008) a small tupperware containing a logbook pen and some other items

BRING LOOOOOOOTS OF WATER!!! This is a H-O-T place!!!!


News 2011 - Last cacher DNF, the ones before this didn't have time looking. Maybe it is there!
Please help me RESTORE this very old cache, the only physical in Guatemala. IF you have the chance of helping me out with a new box in the area you will become my new HERO!!!
NEWS 2012: GPSMartyx helped me to restore this one. Now its a container again. The original hiding place was a large tree. But now it's over TEN years ago I was there so the tree might be fallen down... ;)

Thanks to G-O-CACHERS the Hot Jungle cache is up running. This is the container hidden.

PhotosSpoiler
So you don't HAVE to bring a machete these days. When the cache was hidden this path was a SMALL foot-path only. Today it looks like its possible to do a drive-by-logging?
