It is considered the most urban area, but its large sector of the surrounding hills to the east, the town complementary as mixed.
The rural area is crossed by the eastern hills are heavily wooded with streams and rivers that originate in the top and lost to reach the city between canals and drains. The most important rivers are the Archbishop, which flows into San Francisco before it flows into the Rio Bogota, and the Viceroy, which is part of the El Salitre, Bogotá River flows into the river as the Juan Amarillo.
Although throughout most of history was separated geographically from the city, Chapinero is with Santa Fe, La Candelaria and Teusaquillo, more traditional locations of the city, and beside the two latter forms a set of traditional neighborhoods that are distinguished by portraying a time in the city. Chapinero, once a high class neighborhood, was built with big houses exposed brick facades and architectural style (Victorian) reflecting the strong influence of English in the early twentieth century.
