Geocache Description:

This cache is located in Rincón de la Vieja National Park just a few feet off of the trail. No need to search in any sensitive or dangerous spot. The hike to the cache is not long but it can be very hot along this area, both from the sun and the heat from under your feet!

This park is a tropical version of Yellowstone NP in the USA. There are steaming vents, sulfurous emissions and mud pots (Las Pilas). The cache is located near one of the mud pots just off of the trail.
You are looking for a small thermos covered in camo duct tape. The container has enough room for small TB, geocoins etc.
Park at the Ranger Station (and pay the park entrance fee) and follow the trail heading to Las Pilas. There is never any need to bushwhack as the trail will take you to within feet of the cache. The cache will be easy to find so please replace it carefully to keep it from being misplaced.
Once you get to the cache site you will not need to venture far off the trail but do bring a camera and take pictures of this wonderful area. Enjoy the walk on the bridge over the stream. It is fun!
