Short Loop Trails - Southern Region
Geocaching is an outdoor recreational activity where individuals, groups or families search for hidden containers known as geocaches. Handheld Global Positioning Units (GPS) are used to navigate to each geocache. The activity is initiated when a cache (normally a waterproof container with small items inside) is hidden, and its location is recorded with a GPS. A description of the cache and its GPS coordinates are then posted on a Geocaching website for others to view and find.
GENTE means People in Spanish. GENTE is an acronym for "Gustosos, con Entusiasmo Nos dedicamos Todos a caminar con Energía" (Dedicate Ourselves to Walking with Pleasure, Enthusiasm and Energy).
