About this audio guide
This guide to Virrey Park in Bogotá traces the narrow green corridor from its 1999 opening, built to protect a creek running down from the eastern hills, to its growth into one of the city's busiest recreation strips of cyclists, skaters, and strollers. It covers the festivals and holiday lights that fill its paths, and a court ruling that settled what the park is and is not for. You'll hear why the signs along the trails carry a crossed-out ball. Look for the cardio bars and the small plazas tucked between the cycling lanes.
