Geocache Description:



Portugal, country of travelers!

Portugal sempre foi conhecido por dar 'mundos ao mundo', as nossas descobertas levaram-nos longe e ainda hoje existem marcas da nossa passagem nos quatro cantos do mundo. O objectivo desta cache é fazer as outras nações conhecerem-nos um pouco melhor.


Para obter as coordenandas finais responda às questões e faça os cálculos! :)


  • Quanto cantos tem o épico de Luíz de Camões 'Os Lusíadas'? (some os números=A)
  • Em que ano Pedro ÁLvares Cabral descubriu o Brasil? (ano-1161=BCD)
  • Em que ano os portugueses tomaram Celta? (ano-478=EFG)
  • Já houve um COMKAIA Português, vá ao #100 e descubra o ano. (some os números do ano-5=H)

Agora é só substituir:

N 34º 34.BCD

E 069º AH.EFG

Portugal is a country located in Southwestern Europe, on the Iberian Peninsula. It is the westernmost country of mainland Europe, and is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the west and south and by Spain to the north and east. The Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira are Portuguese territory as well.


Portugal is known to give 'world to the world' because it was the cradle of lots of maritime explorers that discovered new countries. To find this cache just answer the following questions, and do the maths :)

  • How many cantos do you find in the epic poem 'Os Lusíadas' written by Luís Vaz de Camões? (sum numbers = A)
  • When did Pedro Álvares Cabral found Brazil? (year-1161=BCD)
  • When did the Portuguese captured Ceuta? (year-478=EFG)
  • There was a Portuguese COMKAIA in the past, go to #100 and find when. (sum numbers of the year - 5= H)

with all the math done, go to the following coordinates:


N 34º 34.BCD

E 069º AH.EFG
