About this event
Turistren runs its Tren de la Navidad (Christmas Train) as a night journey on the Bogotá to Chía line. The operator describes a train with special lighting that leaves from the platform beside the Gran Estación shopping centre, pauses at Usaquén station where Santa Claus and his elves wait and passengers can have photos taken with the illuminated locomotive, and continues to La Caro station in Chía for a fireworks show before returning to Bogotá.
The operator lists wide reclining seats, restrooms in the intermediate coaches and numbered tickets. Boarding is possible at Gran Estación or at Usaquén station.
