Hato Airport Travel Bug Hotel Traditional Cache

Go happy, go geocaching

Original cache description by Hud4:

GZ is a short stroll along the Hanchi de Riew trail. Just before the trail turns hard left you'll notice a very large tree on the left. Turn right to put this tree to your back and walk about 20 meters to a bunch of boulders. You know you're close when you see a red band around a small tree. Vegetation is fairly thick so your GPSr may get a bit confused. We suggest you look at the "Cache Site" photo on this page prior to attempting the cache. WARNING: Never leave ANYTHING of value in sight in your car ANYWHERE on Curacao. A cacher recently left their camera on the seat and the car was broken into when they were away caching. Put everything in the trunk! That said, this park now has a security guard so chances of getting your car broken into are much less.

Curacao Geocaching Absolutely Essentials Water Particularly when the heat picks up, don't take a chance with dehydration. Take along a water bottle or two to keep yourself going. A pen Although larger caches and some micros will have a pen or pencil, many will not. Pens dry out in the elements. So you really should always bring your own. Hiking boots Sneakers will do for some urban caches, but most caches on Curacao are located in rougher the terrain. Hiking boots provide superior sole and ankle support and have saved me from cactus needles more then once. Thorns All plants on the island are 'pika', so wear boots, long trousers and other protection. Poisonous Plants There are a few on the island so watch out for them. A Cell phone Or better a smartphone, so you can call for help, use it as a backup-GPS and take some nice pictures. CITO please do collect and dispose of litter found along the way.
