Monterrey - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you feel that it is safe to walk, run or hike outside? Are there areas where bike riding is possible? What is the availability and safety of outdoor space for exercising? Are these easily accessible?
In San Pedro Garza García, outdoor exercise is quite common and generally considered safe during daylight hours. There are designated walking and biking paths along Calzada del Valle and Calzada San Pedro, which are popular with joggers, families, and cyclists. The Chipinque Ecological Park offers beautiful, well-maintained trails for hiking and biking, though entry requires a fee and access is by car. While these spaces are accessible and inviting, sidewalks in other parts of the city can be uneven, narrow, or obstructed, and drivers often do not yield to pedestrians. Biking outside of designated areas is not recommended due to traffic and limited bike infrastructure. Like in many urban areas, it's best to avoid exercising alone in isolated areas or after dark. - Mar 2025
