This seemingly endless running and cycle track in Botofogo is great around 4:30/5pm as the sun goes down or early in the morning. All ages and sizes venture there and it doesn't matter what apparel you walk, jog, sprint in. You move in between trees and past the beach to a perspective- changing view of Sugarloaf mountain that will be on your right. Makes you feel better after slumming it all day on the beach. And, yes, it is safe.
