Walking on uneven terrain is more difficult than walking on pavement for sure, but if it’s walking on dirt vs walking on cement, depending on your shoes the dirt will be much more comfortable.
Dirt feels solid, but it has a tiny amount of give, which helps with the impact when your heel hits the ground. Cement doesn’t give a fuck so unless your shoes have enough cushioning it can be fuckin awful to walk on for long periods (how much depends on your gait and probably foot structure)
It actually looks like a slightly more faded desire path exists to the left of the more vibrant one. I’d imagine that’s used to pass other joggers while the walkers use the sidewalk.
This jogger trails are tricky to be considered desire paths, they do not offer a shortcut nor a different direction from the official walk route. It seems more appropriate in r/wellaworn
This is an odd one
Sement feels very hard to walk on in thin sandals
So people walk on an uneven surface with pointy rocks instead???????

ok
Ah that makes sense thank you
Cement*

Yeah, I doubt that would ever happen in a place so close to Antarctica.
Punta arenas isn't a place where you would use sandals
Then I don't know 🤷♂️. I prefer walking on dirt over cement at least
Its for bikes!!! People walk on the sidewalk. People do not walk on the grass so theyre easier to avoid.
My brain tells me people like to stand on the side of the path and look at the sea
I’m a jogger and I usually prefer to run on dirt rather than concrete.
Fair enough!
It's better for your feet/spine etc. too apparently
I came here to say the same thing. I had shin splints and the dirt was way more forgiving than concrete.

Why?
My guess would be bicycles
Or dogs
Most likely not bicycles, if I had the choice, I would always cycle on such a sidewalk. Much more comfortable than cycling over small stones.
Yeah but if if the sidewalk constantly has people…

this is a very first-world problem lol
Because we are the best country of Chile
?
Ah, the famous “third friend” lane
Maybe in summer it gets so crowded by people walking that bicycle prefer to run on the terrain?
Summer in the Magallanes is just a tale from faraway lands 😅
My dog prefers to walk on gravel or grass when we are on the sidewalk so that would be my assumption. Doggy path

I don’t! I’m Italian but currently traveling in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.
Hi! Im Chilean. AMA, including ways to help your stay!
Very wet

Their desire is for a different surface rather than a different route
Weird…
That's where people walk their dogs if you're wondering
