Parque Kabah

Cancún


Beloved by local nature-lovers and fitness-lovers alike, this jungle park in the city remains mostly untouched. Runners and walkers flock to the 1.9-km dirt trail bordered by lush jungle, athletes work out at the outdoor gym, and kids climb on the sizable wood playground. As you explore, you’ll probably spot some local Cancún wildlife such as coatis.
