Geocache Description:

Ushuaia´s first multicache – a simple offset one that should take no longer than 10 minutes from the listing co-ordinates
ALAS PEDRO THE PENGUIN IS NO MORE ... but hopefully there is a replacement container in place waiting to be found!

Ushuaia primera multicache - un desplazamiento sencillo que no debería tomar más de 10 minutos en el listado de coordenadas.


En el listado coordenadas usted se encuentra fuera de una casa de huéspedes. Para encontrar a Pedro se le realizarán a utilizar el nombre de la casa de huéspedes, como está escrito en la pared. Hay 4 palabras y cada letra representa un número de la siguiente manera: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 ... etc ... Z = 26

La caché final está en S 54 grados 4 w. x y z W 068 grados 1 *. $ & %

w = séptima carta menos quinta carta
x = cuarta carta
y = número de letras en la tercera palabra
z = carta 13 menos séptima carta
* = Quinta carta más sexta carta menos cuarto carta
$ = Carta 16a menos carta 13
& = Tercera carta menos novena
% = Octava carta carta menos 13

No hay ninguna foto de muestra de la casa por favor. También asegúrese de que la memoria caché está bien escondido por las piedras mantiene firmemente en su lugar & amp; cubrir con un poco de vegetación, si es posible.

N.B. Aunque el terreno es que todos los caminos y las aceras y la piel debe estar al alcance de cachers en sillas de ruedas, las carreteras tienen algunas colinas empinadas y las aceras están escalonadas y, a menudo en condiciones pobres.

Pedro appeared to be carrying a present but alas went missing after 3 years. Who knows what you´ll find now at the final co-ordinates? Hopefully not a soggy log book!
Pedro parece estar llevando un regalo. ¿Quién sabe qué donde podrá degustar en el interior? Esperemos que no sea un libro de registro de pasada!

At the listing co-ordinates you find yourself outside a guest house. To find Pedro's home you´ll have to use the name of the guest house as it is written on the wall. There are 4 words and each letter represents a number as follows: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 …etc… Z = 26

The final cache is at S 54 degrees 4 w . x y z W 068 degrees 1 * . $ & % where:-

w = 7th letter minus 5th letter
x = 4th letter
y = number of letters in the third word
z = 13th letter minus 7th letter
* = 5th letter plus 6th letter minus 4th letter
$ = 16th letter minus 13th letter
& = 3rd letter minus 9th
% = 8th letter minus 13th letter

No photos of house sign please. Also please make sure the cache is well hidden by stones held firmly in place & cover with a bit of vegetation if possible.

N.B. Although the terrain is all roads and pavements and the hide should be within reach of cachers in wheelchairs, the roads have some steep hills and the pavements are stepped and often in poor condition.
Alas there seems to have been some dangerous litter / trash scattered close to GZ since the cache was put in place. Hopefully the Ushuaia authorities / geocachers may help to tidy up the area a bit as, living in England, I can't

A HUGE thank you to Blacky V and Schokohase for putting a new container in place after Pedro the Penguin went missing in January 2018. Your kind help is very much appreciated.
Ein RIESIGER Dankeschön an Blacky V und Schokohase für die Einrichtung eines neuen Containers, nachdem Pedro der Pinguin im Januar 2018 vermisst wurde. Ihre freundliche Hilfe wird sehr geschätzt.
Also a big thank you to SawaSawa who put a new log in place in a ziplock bag in place (Nov 2019) when they discovered the cache had gone missing.
And another HUGE THANK YOU to SaFranSTD for putting the log sheet into a proper container (that will hold small TBs) in February 2020 and zeepia who put a log & polybag in place a month later after some works in the area moved or destroyed this container! All your help is really useful in keeping this cache going. In late 2022 gulpertstein kindly helped and then in January 2023 it was El_Mue who kindly put new log sheet in place to keep this rare Multi in Ushuaia town going and then in November R&B CO put a proper container in place again. I am greatly indebted to all these folk who have helped
