History

According to a November 2021 document by the locality of Chapinero, between 1993 and 2005, there was an increase in foreigners coming to live in the neighborhood.[4] This occurred particularly between calle 63 and calle 100. These non-Colombian immigrants were of higher social status and were able to launch careers and hold a higher standard of living.

The neighborhood is currently considered a very affluent area of Bogotá, both residentially and commercially.[5] A 2014 El Tiempo article stated Chapinero Alto as having "an infinity" of restaurants, stores, theaters, offices, clubs, and public transportation.[6] Vogue has referred to it as "the Williamsburg of Bogotá."[7]
