Paseo de los Lagos
Paseo de Los Lagos
A lake park south of downtown, with a tree-lined lakeside trail and a colorful "XALAPA" sign that locals love for leisure.
Paseo de Los Lagos is made up of several connected artificial lakes in the valley below the cathedral and Parque Juárez, about a 10-minute walk away. The lakeside loop is about 3 km long, shaded by dense trees, and is used by joggers, with snack stalls by the water and a colorful "XALAPA" sign that is popular for photos. The Lakeside Building of the Universidad Veracruzana on the shore often hosts cultural events. It is free and open to the public, suitable for an early morning jog or an evening walk. At night, when there are fewer people around, take care.
