Rafael Uribe Uribe

Rafael Uribe Uribe is an administrative district in southeastern Bogotá that sits at approximately 2,600 meters above sea level and contains residential neighborhoods, commercial streets, and public services. The area is organized around major routes including Avenida Primero de Mayo and benefits from TransMilenio bus rapid transit connections.

The district took its name from Liberal General Rafael Uribe Uribe and underwent major urban development starting in the 1940s. This expansion gradually transformed the area from open countryside into an integrated part of Bogotá's urban landscape.

The district houses multiple community centers that regularly organize educational programs, workshops, and social activities for the local population of 378,780 residents.

The area is well served by the TransMilenio bus system, which connects residents and visitors quickly to other parts of the city. The relatively flat to gently sloping terrain makes it easy to navigate on foot throughout the district.

The district maintains a population density of 27,000 residents per square kilometer, making it one of the most concentrated residential areas in Bogotá.
