The station is located in the heart of downtown Bogotá, specifically at the intersection of Avenida Jiménez with Avenida Caracas.

[edit] History

The station entered operation on December 17, 2000 as part of the original TranssMilenio system, only to be closed a year later for construction of the Eje Ambiental, which was opened in 2002.

After the opening of the Jiménez-Calle 13 trunk, the station was converted from a simple station into an interchange between the aforementioned trunk and Avenida Caracas with five platforms. The station serves an average of 500,000 passengers per day.

The station has three entrances: on on Avenida Caracas with Calle 11, another on Avenida Jiménez with Carrera 12, and one on the south-east intersection of Avenida Caracas with Avenida Colón.

It serves the La Capuchina, Santa Inés, and San Victorino neighborhoods.
