Geocaching is an outdoor high-tech treasure-hunting game and is fun for
all ages. Caches are located all over the world, mostly outdoors in public
spaces, and the game is great for families, friends and individuals. Many are
hidden in parks and on trails throughout Mission Viejo including 10 caches
we’ve hidden to celebrate Parks Make Life Better. Visit the website to learn
more about this rapidly growing adventure game and to discover unique
places around Mission Viejo.
