Geocache Description:


BYOP

This fort was built by Fadrique Gutiérrez, who was an arquitect, painter, sculptor and a military officer. The story is that it wasn't built right, they said that the windows are smaller in the inside and that would help bullets to enter easily, but I came to understand that the way this windows are built it is harder for bullets to enter the fort.

The coordinates are a little bit off, but if you follow the instruction, you will find it. The bushes have grown a little bit, so it can take a little bit more to find it, but this cache is there. Just go there and sit behind the fence in front of the Fadrique Gutiérrez sculpture and the fortín, look at lower part of the fence and you will see the micro cache. There are lots of muggles so go to the fence and maybe tie your shoes, reach with your hand, they won't notice what are you doing.

Well, I hope you enjoy this little explanations and you enjoy this icon building of Heredia.

Este fortín fue construido por Fadrique Gutiérrez, quien fue arquitecto, pintor, escultor y militar. La historia dice que no se construyó correctamente,  que las ventanas son más pequeñas en el interior y eso les ayudaría a que las las balas entraran fácilmente, pero hace poco me explicaron que la forma en que se construyeron estas ventanas es más difícil que las balas entren dentro del fortín, como las ventajas son redondeadas, las balas no lograrían porque rebotarían. 

Siéntese detrás de la baranda, con la escultura de Fadrique Gutiérrez y el fortín de frente, mire hacia el fortín, ahí está el cache. Habrán muchos muggles, creo que va a tener que simular que se amarra los zapatos; cerca de la baranda, acerque su mano y tome el cache, nadie se dará cuenta de lo que está haciendo

 

Bueno, espero que haya disfrutado esta pequeña explicación y que disfruten este ícono de herediano.

No olvide llevar su lapicero.
