Usaquén is one of the districts of Bogotá, and its northern streets carry a share of the city's lodging. Beds gather near the Chicó Museum.

About Usaquén
What are the main landmarks in Usaquén?
Two landmarks anchor Usaquén. The Chicó Museum keeps a collection within the district, drawing visitors north of central Bogotá. Trains matter here too.
The Tren Turístico de la Sabana runs out across the Sabana de Bogotá, and the line ties Usaquén to the wider plain that spreads around the capital.
What is the history of Usaquén?
Usaquén began as its own settlement on the Sabana de Bogotá before Bogotá reached it. The town stood apart for a long stretch, a place on the plain north of the growing capital, until the city expanded outward and drew it in as a district. Growth pulled it inward.
The Tren Turístico de la Sabana recalls the era when rails first crossed the plain, and the Chicó Museum now holds part of that older story.
Where is Usaquén?
