Running in La Cinta Costera in front of the Casco Viejo in Panama
Panama’s Cinta Costera 3 is meant for running: a scenic, wide and well conditioned 3.5 kilometer course above Pacific Ocean’s waters which offers views of the Casco Viejo and the tall, new skyscrappers. And to finish the run, nothing better than run in the narrow cobbled streets of the old city.
Parque del Este, a haven in the middle of the chaos in Caracas
We ran in Caracas's Parque del Este "running belt", enjoying its heterogeneus attractions: a boat lake, a Xerofítico and a Hidrofítico garden, a water curtain or the corvette used by Francisco de Miranda during his first expedition to Venezuela. All while outside the city streets were chaotic, loud and polluted.
