It is said that in this forest lived, for centuries, a giant. His mission was simple: to protect the forest and guide those who respected it.
During one of his patrols along the Giant’s Route, he decided to hide his symbol — the mark that proved his existence. He chose a safe place… but time passed, the trees grew, and even the Giant lost his memory. Now, the Giant needs your help. To find his symbol again, you must retrace his steps and observe the signs that the forest itself has left behind.
Follow the Giant’s path carefully and collect the clues scattered along the way. Only with the help of a special flashlight was the Giant able to see the signs left in the forest. Only then will you be able to reveal where the symbol was hidden.
IMPORTANT
The Forest Giant did not walk aimlessly. He knew these trails like the back of his hand and only changed direction when the path forced him to choose. To help him remember where he hid his symbol, follow his steps carefully.
Whenever the story indicates that the Giant stopped or observed something, carefully search the white information board at that location for one of the fragments needed to continue, using your UV flashlight.
The image shown in the SPOILER is just an example of the type of board where you may find the fragments of the Giant’s memory. Check it only if you have doubts.
Plan your visit according to the forest’s opening hours:
Summer schedule (April 1st to October 31st)
08:00 to 19:30
Winter schedule (November 1st to March 31st)
08:00 to 17:30
Note: On some special event days, access to the forest may require an entrance fee. Plan your visit accordingly.
This cache was built with respect for the forest, using only reused materials. Practice CITO during your walk.
Rota do Gigante
To help the Giant recover his memory, you must retrace his patrol through the forest. Follow each instruction carefully and pay attention to the moments when he stopped to read the signs of nature.
Do not rush. This route requires attention and patience: exploring each point carefully is the key to finding the Giant’s symbol.
1 – From the posted coordinates, the Giant moved forward along the trail, feeling the protection of nature along the way. Follow the main trail heading NW. During this stretch, the Giant stopped to observe the boxwood.
2 – The birdsong accompanied the Giant as he moved through the forest. Still on the same trail, the Giant stopped to observe the birds. When the four paths intersect, the Giant continues heading East.
3 – The trail led the Giant to older trees, where time seems to slow down. At the end of this section, the Giant stopped near the cork oak. Follow the path heading South, following its natural curves.
4 – The scent of mastic guided the Giant during part of his patrol. Continue heading South, without leaving the marked trail. During this stretch, the Giant stopped to observe the mastic tree.
5 – As the light faded, the Giant became even more attentive to the forest’s signs. Continue heading South, always following the official path. Along the way, the Giant stopped to observe the nocturnal butterflies.
6 – Near the end of his patrol, the Giant felt that his memory was almost complete. Head NW. During this final stretch, the Giant stopped to observe the butcher’s broom. Find the last fragment needed.
With all fragments gathered, the Giant’s memory was restored. Enter the 6 collected letters into Certitude (no spaces and all in uppercase) and let the final coordinates guide you to the final step to where the guardian’s symbol was hidden.
