Avenida Jiménez is a thoroughfare that runs through the locality of La Candelaria in Bogotá, Colombia.

Laid out on the San Francisco River, the Environmental Axis of the city is currently established there.

It extends over 2.8 km (1.7 mi) from Teleférico de Monserrate to Monserrate,[1] taking the source of the environmental axis in Carrera 1.ª, going down through the Iglesia de Las Aguas to Carrera 3ª, where it crosses the Las Aguas TransMilenio station, crossing the city center to the west, to Avenida Caracas, where it becomes Avenida Centenario.

During the first years of its foundation, the city of Bogotá established the Vicachá river as its northern limit, a Chibcha indigenous denomination that means "The glow of the night" , which was later called San Francisco due to the establishment of the Franciscan convent and the Church of San Francisco on its right bank on the "Camino de la Sal" in 1550.

Unfortunately after a few years it would be destroyed by the river bed, for which reason in 1602, a new stone bridge was built.
