Run on a 5.3 km concrete path out to a lighthouse, at this haborside park on a reef featuring unique works by the famous Brazilian sculptor Francisco Brennand. Great water and art views!
This 'runseeing' tour of Recife, the 'Venice of Brazil', explores the city's parks, squares, historic section, and the numerous bridges over the Beberibe and Capibaribe rivers, connecting Recife & Santo Antônio islands. It's a scenic 8 km run, with lots of harbor and water views.
Parque Histórico Nacional dos Guararapes features scenic & hilly options for running on mainly forested trails. It's fun to run to or between the viewpoints. Located in the Jardim Jordão section in southern Recife, near Recife International Airport.
Nice waterfront running in the colonial town of Olinda, just north of Recife. A wide sidewalk/waterfront promenade runs for nearly 6 km from the historic center north to Rio Doce. Also worth exploring the windy, hilly cobblestone streets of the historic center.
