These are the most Favorited Virtual Caches on each continent. A Virtual Cache is about discovering a location rather than a container. The requirements for logging a Virtual Cache vary. Once at the coordinates, you may be required to answer a question about the location, take a picture, or complete a task, in order to log a Virtual Cache.

This is the third in a series about the most Favorited geocaches on each continent. Stay tuned next month for our next installment, and be sure to check out the previous versions of the most Favorited EarthCaches and Multi-Caches. Ready to go on a virtual trip around the world?
