This multicache is ideal for new visitors with children to the north of the island, as an introduction to the sights of two typical, inland villages of Fuerteventura. It is easiest with a car but regular public transport links the villages. Two of the stops are beside small volcanoes that have caches upon them. There are also more adjacent caches.
There is a question to be answered at each stop, the answers will contribute to the coordinates of the final cache.
In addition, for children, there is a fun question (or two) to be answered at each stop but for people not fluent in English, as an aid, there is a help photo to assist. A little knowledge of Spanish is needed or a Spanish dictionary.
Las personas que no hablan Inglés pueden mirar las imágenes de ayuda y ver lo que falta.
Menschen, die kein Englisch sprechen können die Hilfe Bilder betrachten und sehen, was fehlt.
There is a page of help thumbnails which can be printed off, you need to find out what is missing from thumbnails.
As well as the two caches atop the volcanoes, just off the route of the multicache are two further caches GC3988D La Oliva Water Tower and GC398AZ La Oliva Two Windmills. It is not necessary to climb the volcanoes or visit the other caches to complete the multicache, just find the answers to the questions listed in the waypoints section and visit the final cache.
