As the world turns toward new horizons, International Geocaching Day 2026 invites geocachers everywhere to follow the light of exploration forward.
Cache In Trash Out® 2026 Season 1 has ended. Let’s look back at this season’s accomplishments.
More than 2,800 CITO Events took place in over 80 countries, bringing together 17,000 geocachers to help clean up their communities and the world. Thank you for making this possible!
No matter which hemisphere you call home, the June solstice marks a seasonal transition and a fresh start. From June 20–22, 2026, find and log any geocache, event, or Adventure Lab® Location to earn your June solstice souvenir.
