Third National Geocaching Event - GC85MMM
We consider that our event was a real success, despite the limitations that still exist in Brazilian Geocaching, we are in our best phase. Compared to previous events, it is becoming more inclusive and organized, and it can be said that in a life cycle analysis (PLC), we have already gone through the development and introduction phases and are currently in the growth and consolidation phase. Always emphasizing that this success depends mainly on the adhesion of the geocacher community, we contemplate about 50 participants, 10% autochthonous and the rest originated from several cities of 4 Brazilian states (Paraná, Santa Catarina, São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul) and 4 countries. (Czech Republic, France, Germany and Portugal). With great potential for increased demand because the city chosen to host the 2020 event is Foz do Iguaçu, bordering Argentina and Paraguay, the second most visited Brazilian tourist destination. With a very varied schedule, the events included different regions of the city, with the script always valuing natural and cultural attractions. The 4 days were a true immersion in the world of geocaching, with exchange of experiences and closer ties of friendship. During the event our first printed newsletter was distributed, the digital version of which can be viewed at these Links: Informative Portuguese - Informative English
