Abstract
Geocaching is an activity that can be compared to traditional treasure hunting. However, unlike the usual physical maps, geocachers, the name given to those who practice this activity, use location coordinates through a GPS system (Global Positioning System). Geocaching can facilitate the creation of educational routes. By integrating geocaching into educational activities, students are encouraged to engage with their environment through direct interaction, enhancing experiential learning. This chapter aims to present an exploratory and embryonic view of the importance that the development of geocaching tourist routes can represent for the benefit of regional development and the tourism potential of a territory. In particular, the euroregion Northern Portugal and Galicia is a territory characterized by cultural traditions. Thus, this chapter aims to present preliminary insights for the future development of geocaching tourism in cross-border regions specific tourism contexts.
