Foofy’s Fabulous Fuchsia Flamingos. Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

FOOFY: I am requesting that this cache be archived.
Unfortunately the area which was once a wonderful vantage point to view amazing flamingos has now become a garbage dump and not a place that I would like to share with other geocachers.
The cache has been removed. I hope to find an alternative location for place the cache.

Geocache Description:

You will be driving down a rough small paved road flanked by mangroves and lagoon to this geocache location.  


In October 2014 a mangrove restoration project was undertaken in this area.   Today thousands of Flamingos flock here to enjoy a feast of brine shrimp, algae, crustaceans and aquatic plants within these shallow mangroves.

This cache is located about 5km minutes from the port of Progreso, a popular beach destination for cruise ships and domestic tourists.  

You will be looking for a small cylinder container that holds a log book and small prizes. Remember to bring a pencil or pen to write with.  Please re-hide this cache carefully and away from view.

Remember to use caution when geocaching in Mexico.  Watch your footing and be aware of your environment - spiders, snakes, animals, reptiles etc.
