Photo quests in Calheta

What the catalogue actually holds here, and which of it is worth rearranging a day around.

Calheta holds three quests, one in each of Art, Beach and Nature.

One is tier 1, the tier kept for what a visitor would not have found on their own: MUDAS. It is also the only quest here whose check-in asks for PRO; the other two are open on any plan. Tier 3 covers two of them, which is the label for what a visitor would expect a travel app to have anyway.

Art covers the work and the building around it, so a mural on an ordinary street counts alongside the collection with a ticket desk. A beach quest is coast worth the trip in its own right rather than the nearest sand to a hotel. Every check-in works the same way: the geotag your camera wrote into the photo has to land within 200 m of the quest's own point.

Calheta is a short list for now — three quests is exactly the floor a city needs to have a page here at all. It grows when the pipeline publishes into Calheta again, and nothing about this page has to change for that to happen.

By category

Each of these opens the whole category across every city, with the Calheta quests among them.

Tier 1

The unexpected ones

The one quests in Calheta the catalogue files as finds rather than fixtures — the half of a city a guidebook has no room for.

Questions

About quests in Calheta

How many photo quests are there in Calheta?
3, across Nature, Art and Beach. Nothing in History, Food, Sport and Party here yet — a category appears in a city the moment a quest is published into it, so the gaps move. They are: Risco Waterfall, MUDAS and Calheta Beach.
What is there to do in Calheta beyond the obvious?
One of the 3 quests in Calheta is tier 1, which is the catalogue's own mark for a find rather than a landmark: the pipeline that writes it is told that tier 3 is "everything a visitor would expect a travel app to have", and that tiers 1 and 2 are "only the unexpected finds". Calheta holds one at tier 1, none at tier 2 and two at tier 3. The tier 1 quest here is MUDAS, in Art.
Can you do all the Calheta quests on one trip?
Yes, given a few days. Every one of the 3 falls within 6.7 km of the middle of the Calheta list — walking and local transport, not day trips — so this is a list to plan a visit around rather than a reason to extend one.
Which Calheta quests can you do for free?
2 of the 3 can be checked in on the free plan, and all 3 can be read and travelled to without paying anything — the catalogue is open signed out, on every plan. PRO covers the check-in on the hardest tier, which in Calheta means one quest: MUDAS.
How do I prove I visited a place in Calheta?
Take the photo at the place and upload it. Your browser reads the location the camera wrote into that file and measures it against the quest's own coordinates; inside 200 m the check-in counts. The distance is measured to the point, not to the city: being in Calheta is not what is checked, and a photo taken across town from Risco Waterfall fails exactly the way one taken at home does. A file with no location in it cannot be checked at all, and a photo that has been through a messaging app usually arrives that way — upload the original out of the camera roll rather than a copy someone sent back to you.
