Geocache Description:


Bienvienidos amigos. This multi stage cache will lead you to two easy waypoints and then a final cache that will provide a nice view of Volcan Agua framed by trees. The final cache is located in the same park as my other nearby cache, Cerro de la Cruz, so if you start with this multicache you should end up with two finds and a nice view (weather permitting). The first two waypoints are plaques (to reduce cache maintenance). Please be discreet in your hunt and make sure no one sees you at the final so that it will last a while. You may also want to go with a group of friends to be safe. Tree cover will likely make the final a bit tough so use the hint. Please rehide the cache well.

Hazy skies obscured the nice view of Volcan Agua for the picture.

The listed coordinates are for waypoint 1. At this location you will be near a famous feature in Antigua. There are two dates on a plaque denoting an anniversary. To calculate waypoint 2 determine how many years the plaque is commemorating (XXX). Also determine what day in March the plaque was dedicated (YY).

waypoint 2: N14 33.(511 + XXX)
W90 43.(760 + YY)

At waypoint two you will find another plaque. Use the number of men named on the plaque (Z) to compute the location of the final.

Final: N14 33.(964 + YY + Z)
W90 43.(760 + Z + Z)

Small note on cache maintenance: Twice a year I am visiting Guatemala and will continue to do so for the next several years which will provide opportunity to maintain them.
