Norte-Quito-Sur

Etymology

Route

• Avenida Novena runs through the Usaquén neighborhood in north Bogotá from north to south, parallel to the railway that joins Bogotá with the Sabana Central and Boyacá, from Calle 153. This route was lengthened to join with Carrera 30 at Calle 92, forming the northerly stretch of NQS
• Avenida Ciudad de Quito, also called Carrera 30, runs north to south between Calle 92 and Calle 50 South; the southerly part is not considered part of NQS
• Autopista Sur, which parts from Avenida Ciudad de Quito at Calle 3a Sur, constituting the principal route leaving Bogotá by the southwest. It then joins the municipality of Soacha and leads to cities such as Ibagué, Armenia, and Cali.
