[edit] Location

The station is located in northern Bogotá, specifically on the Autopista Norte with Calle 80.

It serves the El Espartillal, Polo Club, and Antiguo Country neighborhoods.

[edit] History

After the Portal de Usme station was opened in early 2001, this station was added as an additional station to that line. A few months later, following the opening of Portal del Norte, this station was switched to joining that line.

The station is named Héroes due to its proximity to the Monumento a los Héroes, with which it is joined by a footpath.

The station was planned to serve as an interchange for passengers on the Calle 80 and the Autopista Norte.
