Parque Samanes, on the north end of the city, is one of the few sizable parks in Guayaquil. It’s not overwhelmingly large, but there is a good selection of brick paths through open lawns and gardens. Runners will also find an array of stationary exercise equipment near the athletic fields and courts. Paths criss-cross all over the park, but we’ve mapped a 4 km loop around the perimeter. Adventurous runners can continue their route by crossing over the Av. Francisco de Orellana into Reserva Senderos. Here, wide dirt paths and bridges stretch through green forestland. A ciclovia around the perimeter of the forest is about 7 km. See this map of the Reserva.

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.
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.
Plaza Lagos is a shopping center in north Guayaquil, but it’s also a community of nicely developed promenades and residential streets. We’ve mapped a 3 km loop.
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.
