Geocache Description:

Antigua Guatemala


The Antigua Guatemala is the city of a great historical value in Guatemala.

In this cache you will walk in to the park, coffe shops, and comercial stores to a hill (Cerro de la Cruz) with a nice view of the city. You will need to go out to the road and walk up to the hill in no trail. Take a nice pair of hiking shoes but the walk will not be so long, so do not worry and enjoy. Look only on day, there are police until 6:00 of the afternoon. This one revives the cache from Lahontan "Bienvenidos al antigua"
Stage 1
You will find a plaque look for two dates 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).
Stage 2 from S1: Northward ((XXX+YY+109)/1000) Minutes
Eastward ((XXX-YY*11-2)/1000) Minutes

Stage 2
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 from S2: Northward ((YY*3+Z)/1000) Minutes
Westward ((YY*5-Z)/1000) Minutes
