Villa Mayor

Villa Mayor is a residential district in southern Bogotá with flat terrain and gentle slopes toward 33rd Street, featuring organized residential blocks arranged in a grid pattern. Commercial establishments and small businesses are distributed throughout the neighborhood, serving daily needs.

The district was developed in the 1980s to meet the growing housing demand of the expanding capital city. Luis Carlos Sarmiento Angulo led this planned residential expansion as part of broader urban growth in southern Bogotá.

The neighborhood theater and community center serve as gathering places where local artists perform and residents come together for social events. These spaces shape the cultural rhythm of the district and create opportunities for artistic expression and community connection.

The NQS Calle 38A Sur TransMilenio station provides direct connection to central Bogotá, making the district easily accessible. Several bus routes also serve the neighborhood, offering flexible transportation options for moving around the area.

The Parque de Tubos stands out for its distinctive design built from tubes and industrial materials not commonly seen in other recreational spaces across the city. This unconventional approach creates an intriguing play area that draws families and children to this corner of the neighborhood.
