The simple station Fucha is part of the TransMilenio mass-transit system of Bogotá, Colombia, opened in the year 2000.

## Etymology

[edit]

The station is named Fucha due to its proximity to the channel of the Fucha River, which runs along Calle 13 Sur. Fucha means "her" or "female" in Muysccubun, the language of the indigenous Muisca who inhabited the Bogotá savanna before the Spanish conquest.[1]

## Location

[edit]

The station is located in southern Bogotá, specifically on Avenida Caracas, with Calles 17 and 18A sur.

It serves the Ciudad Jardín and Restrepo neighborhoods.

## History

[edit]

At the beginning of 2001, the second phase of the Caracas line of the system was opened from Tercer Milenio to the intermediate station Calle 40 Sur. A few months later, service was extended south to Portal de Usme.
