Geocaching in the Célé valley

The Géocacha and Patrimoi canoe descents were designed by the Parc Naturel Régional des Causses du Quercy in partnership with canoe rental companies in the Célé Valley. These descents are a fun and original invitation to discover the remarkable architectural built heritage of the Célé Valley by mixing a means of soft mobility and the Geocaching dimension. So ready to embark on a canoe?

What is

geocaching ?

It’s a high-tech treasure hunt played with a smartphone or GPS. The game involves finding hidden objects, nicknamed “caches.” It can be played at any age. A logbook or notebook allows the geocacher to leave a comment on his or her experience, which can then be shared with the rest of the community via the geocaching.com website.

From geocaching to geocacha, there is only one Occitan step… which the Park has taken to respect the local language!
