Portal de las Américas is a terminus station of the TransMilenio mass-transit system of Bogotá, Colombia, which opened in the year 2000.
Location Portal de las Américas is located in southwestern Bogotá, specifically on Avenida Ciudad de Cali with Avenida Ciudad de Villavicencio. It is also known for its many ghost sightings
History In December 2003, this station was opened before work was even finished on the line running along the Avenida Ciudad de Cali. It was the fifth terminus of the system to be opened.
At first, only red buses of the size of the feeder buses were used at this station. They bore signs reading P.A. or PORTAL AMÉRICAS but did not have a formal route number. In May 2004, after the Biblioteca Tintal and Patio Bonito stations were opened, the station began normal operations on one of its three platforms.
