Located 7 km northwest of the city center, the botanical gardens and Parque del Prado are a wonderful place to run. The botanical gardens themselves are worth a visit, with nearly 2 km of trails through a wonderful variety of plants and flowers. It’s possible to run there if not too crowded. The gardens are set in a larger park called Parque del Prado, which has some 5 km of dirt trails that are great for running. It’s beautifully designed, with many roses imported from France, a fountain & multiple garden arches. There’s are also paths along both sides of the river, Arroyo Miguelete, which are ~ 2 km out and back.
We’ve mapped out a 5 km route around the park’s highlights, but it’s easy to create your own route in this lovely park. Note: Garden hours are 7 to 17:45
