Once the lifeblood of Colombia’s transportation network, the country’s railways were vital in connecting distant regions and fostering economic growth. However, most of these railway lines have now faded into history, with only a few still in operation today. Among the remnants of this bygone era is the charming Usaquén Station in Bogotá, a colonial gem that stands as a testament to a time when rail travel was at its peak. Visiting this station is like stepping back into a forgotten era, where the echoes of steam engines and bustling travelers linger in the air.
