Parks & Nature
Lezama Park
Avenida BrasilLess than 2 blocks from the apartment, this is our local park.
Huge (350 hectares) park/nature reserve next to the river. On a sunny day, I'll happily do a couple of loops of speed-walking. Has a beach (of sorts) with picnic tables, which is a good place to sit and relax (river not suitable for swimming unfortunately).

I enjoy the waterfront loop around the docks. There's even an official trail with a bunch of outdoors exercise stations.
