Best of: GIFF – A compilation

Did you miss the Geocaching International Film Festival this year? In 2020 we have been taking a look back at the past 20 years of geocaching and it wouldn’t make sense to leave GIFF out.

On November 17th we will release a “Best of: GIFF” film reel including submissions from every year since 2013. Creative geocachers journeyed to space, hunted for FTFs, and fell in love all in the name of geocaching. Previous winners and honorable mentions from each year will be highlighted.

While we aren’t having a souvenir this year, we are capturing the spirit of GIFF in one video. You can find it on Facebook, YouTube, and in our Newsletter on November 17th.

Nouveau souvenir Géocaching de pays / région pour la Réunion

Aujourd’hui nous vous annonçons un nouveau souvenir régional pour la Réunion. Si vous avez déjà trouvé une géocache à la Réunion, vous recevrez automatiquement le souvenir sur votre profil.

La Réunion est une île isolée de l’Océan Indien, à des centaines de kilomètres du continent le plus proche. Son isolement en fait une escapade idéale pour les visiteurs qui découvriront une culture tissée par la multitude de ses habitants. Les récifs coralliens, les forêts et les volcans abritent une grande variété d’espèces dont certaines sont endémiques et ne peuvent être trouvées nulle part ailleurs dans le monde. Que vous préfériez lacer vos chaussures de randonnée, enfiler une combinaison de plongée ou vous allonger sur la plage, vous ne serez jamais bien loin d’une géocache.
