Geocache Description:

This cache is at around 4900m above sea level and could be the highest cache you will ever find.

It is a blue round container, big enough for travelbugs and other trading goods. Don’t put anything into the container that can be destroyed by freezing – such as shower gel or other liquids! You are at high altitude and it can get far below 0°C at night! You will most likely cross the Patapampa pass on your way to or from the Colca Canon where you hopefully see or saw Condors! All those little stone figures around there are built by local travellers to bring them luck on further travels or on their way back home. Pay attention to all the children selling handicrafts at the parking space – don’t let them see what you’re doing up the hill! Please make sure you close the container very well, there can be snow up there and melting snow could destroy the contents of this cache… Thank you very much – and enjoy Peru! In: - Travelbug “unite for diabetes” - Playing cards - Essential oil - Bracelet - Wooden butterfly - Enigma game
