Description

Its name honors Berrío Park in which the station is located, because the park began the growth of the city, although its design has changed over the decades. It also communicates with the headquarters of the University Corporation Remington, the Church of Veracruz and the Basilica of Our Lady of Candelaria.

The station, located at the junction between Colombia and Bolivar, is facing the Plaza Nutibara, the Palace of Culture, the Museum of Antioquia and the Hotel Nutibara.[3] Adjacent to this hotel, you can find routes leading to Jose Maria Cordova International Airport. In the same area, Botero Park is an outdoor museum with sculptures by Colombian artist Fernando Botero.
