San Cristóbal, Administrative district in southeast Bogotá, Colombia.

San Cristóbal spans across 4,909 hectares of land at an elevation of 2,600 meters, featuring both flat urban areas and steep hillsides toward the Eastern Mountains.

The territory transformed from rural haciendas concentrated in the Fucha River valley to an urban settlement between 1940 and 1980.

The district contains 272 public parks, 36 educational institutions, and the Divino Niño church, serving its population of 410,092 residents.

The locality connects to central Bogotá through major roads including Calle 22 Sur, Eastern Highway, and Carrera 10, with TransMilenio providing public transportation services.

The Fucha River, also known as San Cristóbal River, originates in the Eastern Hills and forms natural boundaries within the district.
