It might sound strange to go run at a shopping mall, but Plaza Lagos in north Guayaquil is blooming with modern architecture and pristine infrastructure. Runners can start at the shops and head out on an expansive network of streets and promenades through this developed island environment. A loop around the perimeter of Plaza Lagos is about 3 km, but the surrounding neighborhoods of Samborondón are some of the most pleasant in Guayaquil. Add mileage with a loop around Isla Mocoli or (with permission) explore the gated communities surrounding Plaza Lagos to the north and south.

Other Routes in Guayaquil, Ecuador
Malecón 2000
Guayaquil, Ecuador
The most popular running option in Guayaquil. The Malecón 2000 is a delightful brick waterfront promenade along 2.4 km of the city’s coast. Includes monuments and other top sites.
Run the boardwalks of the Isla Santay National Recreation Area, accessible via pedestrian bridges from Guayaquil. The highlight is the 6 km “ciclovia.” Pairs well with Malecón 2000.
Enjoy some hill work on the steps of Cerro Santa Ana, then extend your route on the waterfront of the Las Penas neighborhood, where you can look back on the colorful rows of houses and shops.
This large park in north Guayaquil has over 4 km of lovely brick paths around the perimeter. Runners can also cross the street into Reserva Senderos and run along the dirt bike path.
There are great routes on the west side of Guayaquil, where runners can seek out the waterfront paths of the Parque Lineal del Estero Salado. We’ve mapped an 8 km loop starting from the university.
This forest area on the western outskirts of Guayaquil features numerous trails, including a wide, flat, dirt bike path around the park perimeter. It’s a 2.5 km loop. The terrain is mainly wooded.
The Parque Lineal Kennedy Norte is a great option in north-central Guayaquil, especially for those located near the airport. There is a 1 km promenade along the estuary, with runnable residential street options nearby.
There are some more waterfront paths in the Cisne/Ximena/Isla Trinitaria area of southwest Guayaquil. Not the most scenic, but they can be combined for a run in the southwest of Guayaquil.
