Geocache Description:

Cache is a Folger's coffee container. Didn't have much with me for trading, so threw it all in. Deck of Canadian cards, pen on carbiner, little glitzy notepad. Also dropped in a geocoin and travel bug that I will officially drop after cache published.
UPDATE APRIL 12, 2015. Contained replaced by El Nimrod - smaller and not a coffee container. Thanks so much.

Beautiful walk from Yelapa up to the Cascada Grande Falls. Takes about 1.5 hours. Local maps are available (will also try to post one when I get home and can scan one). When looking at the map, make sure to turn left and go through the illustrated gate. Can rent a donkey and guide to take you most of the way there, but regular walking people can make it easily but make sure to take water with you as, depending on what day you go, local restaurants may not be open for a cerveza break along the way. Nice refreshing water (a.k.a. swimming hole) to cool off in at the base of the falls. In hind sight, wish we would have taken a lunch and spent more time there. Great place to lounge on a large rock and read a book.
CO-ORDINATES ARE HARD TO GET CORRECT THERE, so please rely more on the pictures and hints supplied than on the co-ordinates which might be farther south than intended. (ground zero is supposed to be at the point of the first picture) Start using photos and hints from the point of the first photo. Cache is to the north-west.

UPDATE: CONGRATULATIONS TO CAPEDCAVYCRUSADERS FOR THEIR FIRST FTF. Way to go. Sounds like you had a wonderful experience and a great day.
