Geocaching

Geocaching is a treasure hunt game by means of GPS coordinates.

Several copies of the Field Guide to Jordan have been hidden around Jordan; more will occasionally be added. The main objective is to go out and enjoy interesting locations in Jordan, and if you find a book, then it is yours to keep!

Anybody can participate. You may use Google Maps or any other tool to search for the books. However, a portable GPS unit is needed to locate them with more accuracy in the field. The books are hidden, not buried. Please look for them without digging.


Help natural habitats on your next trips by collecting at least one piece of litter, carry it back with you, and dispose of it in a trash bin.
