Geocaching in the Célé valley

The Géocacha et Patrimoinecanoe trips have been designed by the Parc naturel régional des Causses du Quercy, a UNESCO World Geopark, in partnership with canoe rental companies in the Vallée du Célé. These descents are a fun and original way to discover the remarkable architectural heritage of the Vallée du Célé, combining soft mobility and geocaching. So, are you ready to get on board a canoe?

What is a

geocaching?

It’s a high-tech treasure hunt played with a smartphone or GPS. The game involves finding hidden objects, known as“caches“. It can be played at any age. A logbook or notebook allows geocachers to leave a comment on their experience, which they can then share with the rest of the community via the geocaching.com website. From geocaching to geocacha, it’s just one step to Occitan… a step the Park has taken to respect the local language!
