English:
This microcache is hidden in a small cave on a slope face approximately 800 m from the Lizandro River mouth. Ten metres from this cave is another smaller but beautiful cave.
GENERAL:
This small cave has several openings and in matter of minutes your eyes will adapt to the light making it easy to observe all the feature inside the cave.
Suggestion: I suggest you attire yourself in clothes that you don’t mind dirtying and wear shoes with non-slip soles for the short climb and descent.
Don’t forget to bring:
• Company
• Camera (flash-equipped is better)
• "Cache In, Trash Out" bags
• Pencil or pen
• Adequate clothing
Do not come here in a hurry; enjoy your settings and the views.
Reference points:
Parking in: N38 56,57070' W09 24,42545' (near the bridge over the Lizandro River. Follow the signs that say “Amoreira").
From here follow on to: N38 56,31338' W09 24,48570' (foot of slope)
The coordinates supplied are not of the actual cache as the reception is bad in this location. Therefore, following on from the last set of coordinates at the foot of the slope, consulting the supplied image (bottom of cache page) and following the indications below, you will easily get to the cache.
Indications:
1- Near the car, on the tarred road, there is a bifurcation. Choose the right one that descends. Soon after you should be walking on a dirt track crossing between two cultivated fields. The track ends approximately 20 m before the “foot of slope” point. At this point observe the image and try to determine where the cache is hidden.
2-Apparently there is no way upwards! However, observe ahead of you, at approximately, head height a little to the left of the pine tree. The entrance is a “tunnel” amongst the bushy vegetation. Climb to the top using the available hand and footholds. At the top, near the rock outcrop, take the left-hand. Approximately after walking 7 meters there is an entrance to the small opening on your right. The microcache is inside firmly held against the rock wall and is not buried. Please note how the cache is “attached” to the rock wall and place exactly as before so it is protected from the elements. After signing the log book, visit the nearby small cave.
3-Leave the opening and walk to your left (See image). Approximately 10 metres on you will find the entrance to the small cave. Inside you can easily stand up although in the final sector, you will have to crawl to reach the extremity of the cave. There are various formations in this cave. DO NOT touch the stalagmites and stalagtites as they are extremely fragile. Do not scratch the walls or mark them in any way. If you find any rubbish left by others, please remove it and do your best to preserve this location.
