Parque Mirador Sur
A long urban park in the southwest of the city, running along a limestone cliff with shaded avenues, cave restaurants and sea-view lookouts.
The park stretches about 7 kilometers along the coastal terraces, with trails and bike lanes under tall trees. Every morning and evening, and for parts of the day on weekends, the central avenue is closed to motor vehicles, and locals come to cycle, run and skate. Natural caves in the cliff include the Guacara Taína cave, once a famous nightclub, as well as cave restaurants. The park offers views over the city and the Caribbean, making it a good choice for travelers who want to experience everyday local life.
