Parque Ecologico Rufino Tamayo

Beautiful! While i knocked two stars off my review to prevent misleading people (The park is in bad shape, and visitors any time other than morning jogging time are as likely to see vagrants as they are to see 'proper patrons' of the place.) Yet it remains one of my favourite places in the Huatulco area. It's shabby. It's overgrown. It is probably considered a terrible waste of development investment. And yet here they don't spray for mosquito control, or not as heavily/frequently, so it's the one place i found actual birds. Yes, those flappy chirpy things all but missing from the rest of town. Sure, there are gulls, pigeons and huge black cackling starlings called 'zanates', but to hear songbirds you have to get away from the toxic spray that kills their food source. This park, in its current state of disrepair, offers that. And the plant life is interesting. It could become a picturesque botanical garden if Fonatur hired a local green thumb to live on site and love the place into shape, like a Curitiba municipal shepherd, Oaxaca style.

Very hilly, but decent, partially paved paths. Some wild birds and a few squirrels were seen.

It is a very good place to run and exercise. Wide and different from the traditional places. A bit sloppy and sometimes lonely. With a good maintenance and cleaning the place would be an excellent option to have fun, get together and play sports.

Excellent place to exercise

It is very nice
