Geocaching in Haute Garonne

Free, fun and educational, geocaching is an activity that appeals to children, but also to parents! It's a real life-size treasure hunt. The goal ? Using your Smartphone and an application to download (on the Android and Apple stores), you must look for "caches", which give you clues to find the following ones, until the end point. You just need to locate yourself on the application and it will indicate nearby hunts. There are small objects in the caches, such as treasures, trophies! Some tourist offices offer specific, historical routes, around nature or heritage. In the same genre, you can download the application to search for Pokémon, which will be very successful with the youngest, this is a healthy way to keep the weekend busy.
