Faroe Islands Group Tour
26 May – 2 June 2027 | 8 days / 7 nights
EIGHT DAYS OF NATURE, ADVENTURE AND GEOCACHING
For our very first Palarunca Geocaching Adventure, we're heading to a destination that seems almost tailor-made for geocachers!
The Faroe Islands are a spectacular archipelago in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. Imagine dramatic cliffs, lush green valleys, powerful waterfalls, picturesque villages and breathtaking landscapes unlike anywhere else in the world.
During this eight-day group tour, we'll explore some of the most beautiful places the islands have to offer. We'll combine famous highlights with hidden gems, exciting excursions, scenic hikes and, of course, plenty of geocaching.
And as always with Palarunca, it's about much more than just finding caches. We want to explore, experience, enjoy nature, discover local culture and, of course, enjoy delicious food along the way!
We'll be travelling in a small group, with Carl and Patricia personally accompanying the entire journey.

Farewell to the Faroe Islands
After breakfast, we'll head to the airport for our return flight to Paris.
We'll return home with unforgettable memories, incredible nature experiences, new friendships and undoubtedly plenty of extra smileys on our geocaching maps!
More Than Just a Geocaching Trip
This journey isn't about finding as many caches as possible. It's about discovering extraordinary places that geocaching leads us to.
We deliberately travel in a small group, allowing us to enjoy nature, take our time exploring and embrace the unexpected discoveries along the way.
Beyond geocaching, there's plenty of room for scenic hikes, local culture, shared experiences and delicious food.
Carl and Patricia will personally accompany this journey, sharing their passion for travel, exploration and geocaching with everyone along the way.
