Geocache Description:


El Túnel de Guajataca es uno de los pocos túneles que todavía existen en Puerto Rico (existe otro muy cerca de este llamado “Túnel Negro” pero esta en propiedad privada). Por este túnel pasaba el tren que venia con carga y pasajeros desde San Juan en dirección a Mayaguez. El mismo funcionó hasta su último viaje que fue el domingo 20 de septiembre de 1953, terminando así la era del ferrocarril en Puerto Rico. En el camino hacia el túnel podrás ver la torre para almacenar agua para el tren, luego la entrada al túnel y al salir veras una hermosa vista de los farallones de Isabela y la costa. EL CACHE NO ESTA DENTRO DEL TUNEL. La búsqueda comienza al otro lado del túnel, seguir el camino hasta el final. El cache es un envase lock and lock, contiene logbook.

Por favor asegurar que la tapa esta cerrada correctamente, que no tenga arena en la tapa y no enterrar el cache en la arena. NO DESTRUIR LOS CACTUS

The Guajataka Tunnel is one of the few tunnels that survives today (there is another one near by called “Black Tunnel”, but it is on private property). Thru this tunnel cargo and people make their journey from San Juan to Mayaguez. Its last voyage was on Sunday September 20, 1953 and ending that day the train era in Puerto Rico. On your way to the tunnel you will see the water tower, the entrance, at the other side you will see a nice view of the Isabela’s cliffs and the coast THE CACHE IS NOT INSIDE OF THE TUNNEL The search starts at the other side of the tunnel, follow the trail to the end. The cache is a lock and lock container, inside there is a logbook. 

Please make sure that the container is shut right, no sand on the lid and do not bury the cache on the sand. DO NOT DESTROY THE CACTUS.
