Geocache Description:


El Cerro del Tesoro

[English below]

En la cultura mexica los cerros eran considerados lugares de culto, ya que se pensaba que estos eran "jarrónes" llenos de agua pero cubiertos de tierra en su exterior. Esta teoría se basó en sus observaciones, ya que de los cerros y montañas surgen los ríos, manantiales e incluso ayudan a formar las nubes. Por todo esto es que hasta le fecha hay quienes ponen tributos y ofrendas en algunos cerros/montañas, ya sea en la base, los senderos o en las cimas con tal de agradecer o pedir por agua.

En este caso yo decidí poner un pequeño "tesoro" en la base para honrar al Cerro del Tesoro.


Treasure Hill

In the Mexica culture, the hills were considered places of worship since they were thought to be "vases" filled with water but covered with earth on the outside. This theory was based on their observations, since the hills and mountains are the source of rivers, springs and even help to form the clouds. For all this is that to this day there are those who still put tributes and offerings in some mountains/hills, either at the base, trails or on the summits, as a way to give thank or to ask for water.

In this case I decided to place a small "treasure" at the base to honor the "Cerro del Tesoro" (Treasure Hill).
