Geocaching travel bugs are a fun way to add an extra layer of adventure to your geocaching experience. Travel bugs are specially-crafted tags that can be placed inside geocache containers for other adventurers to find and move from cache to cache. These tags are the perfect way to take the fun of geocaching to the next level, making it more interactive and engaging.
Travel bugs come in many shapes and sizes, with some of the most popular designs featuring official geocaching logos or artwork. A travel bug typically contains a code that allows its movements to be tracked online, allowing the original owner to monitor its progress around the world. When a travel bug is first released into the wild, its owner typically sets a mission or “goal” for the bug. An example of a goal could be to get the travel bug to a certain region of the world or across an entire continent.
DO NOT KEEP TRAVEL BUGS! If you take a Travel Bug from a cache, please make sure that you log it in the Geocaching app and place it in another cache ASAP.
While tracking the progress of a travel bug can be fun, the greatest reward comes from the adventure of physically finding and moving the tag from one place to another. For this reason, travel bugs are an exciting addition to any geocaching adventure.
