Traditional Cache
– Is a cache, consisting of a geocache and a logbook. Large cache
containers normally contain trackables. Smaller cache containers usually only contain a
logbook for you to make an entry in. You can find the exact location of the geocache by
means of the coordinates for the cache.
Multicache
– Contains several (multi)-positions. The geocache is situated at the final
position. There are lots of different versions of multicaches, but usually the first cache
position contains a clue as to the second position and the second position contains clues
about the third, etc.
Mystery Cache
– Is a puzzle which needs to be solved in order to decipher the
coordinates. This cache does not fit into other cache categories and is usually a new and
unique geocaching experience.
Letterbox Cache
– Is another form of the treasure hunt in which clues are used
instead of coordinates. In some cases, the letterbox owners link the geocache to clues and to
coordinates which are published on Geocaching.com.
The stamp in the letterbox is not used as a trackable. Visitors can use this stamp to record
their find.
Event Cache
– Is a cache where several geocachers or geocaching organisations
meet. On Event Cache sites, a time and coordinates where the event will be taking place are
published. The cache is archived after this event.
Megaevent Cache
– Is an event cache in which over 500 people from all different
places participate. Megaevents offer geocachers one or more days on which they can plan
activities.

geoscience features in the world.
Earth Cache sites contain a series of informative notices with cache coordinates.

manage our resources and how scientists are gathering evidence to learn more about the
Earth.
