A type of cache that does not usually have a container. This cache is usually some sort of unique visual item such as a waterfall, road marker, statue, web cam, etc.
Its name is taken from 'virual reality.' This is a cache where the location is the cache itself. There is no container and nothing is normally traded, except photos and experiences. Recently all virtual caches have moved or are being moved from geocaching.com to a new website specifically for these caches. See www.waymarking.com for more details.
