Running and walking in Chapultepec Park

Considering a month-long stay in Mexico City and want to run and walk in Chapultepec Park. Is it safe to run at 7-8 AM and walk alone at 9-10 PM? Any other park-related advice is appreciated.

Generally, Chapultepec is safe, especially during those hours. 7-8 AM will be bustling with other exercisers, making it feel very secure. 9-10 PM is a bit later, so stick to well-lit paths and be aware of your surroundings, as with any large park at night anywhere. Consider bringing a friend, even if just for the 9-10 PM walks. Also, be prepared for varying terrain – some paths are paved, some are dirt, some are seriously hilly. Bring water, especially if you're planning a longer run. And have fun exploring – it's a gorgeous park!

Great advice! Thanks for the detailed info on the terrain and the safety tips, especially about the different times of day. I hadn't thought about the varied paths – good to know to plan my route accordingly. Water's definitely going on the list. Excited to check it out!

Finding a Trainer in Coyoacán

Try checking out the gyms near Cepe. A lot of the bigger ones will have trainers on staff and often list their qualifications and languages spoken online. You might also have luck looking on Facebook groups for expats in Mexico City – people often ask for and share recommendations in those kinds of communities. Good luck!

That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought of checking expat groups on Facebook. Cepe is pretty central, so that makes sense to start there too. Fingers crossed I find someone who speaks English, my Spanish is... well, let's just say it's a work in progress! 😅
