Oh, what a 500 feet fall ! Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Knagur Green: Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival. This is explained in the Help Center

If the CO feels that this cache has been archived in error please feel free to contact me within 30 days, via email or message via my profile ,quoting the GC number concerned

Thank you for understanding

Geocache Description:

Cascade 500 pieds(feet) may be the highest waterfall in Mauritius. The trail to the cache do start at the Alexandra falls viewpoint but the cache is found on top of Cascade 500 pieds. From the Alexandra falls viewpoint, Cascade 500 pieds cannot be seen.

The hike to the cache is not very long. It can be done in about 30 minutes and the way back will take about 45 minutes. This hike is quite strenuous especially on the way back. So it is recommended for the fit ones. The route to the cache will bring you on the top of the waterfall and you will find a wonderful panorama of southern coast.
Follow the little trail to the left of the wooden bridge when you are at the waypoint "START".
Beware, at the "START" waypoint you may find a dirt road which you think may be the trail, but it's not. The trail is parallel to the large dirt road but a little bit in the lower ground. You will notice and need to cross a little stream at the beginning.
