Las Torres is a freeway-median metro station on the Line 4 of the Santiago Metro, in Santiago, Chile. It is built into the median of Vespucio Sur expressway. The station is located immediately north of the cloverleaf interchange of Américo Vespucio Avenue and Las Torres Avenue, which is named so because it features high tension towers along its median (Las Torres is Spanish for The Towers). Las Torres Avenue gives its name to the station.
The station features a sinusoidal roof, with a much larger wave covering the mezzanine level, which is accessed via two pedestrian bridges.
Nearby points of interest include the building housing the main offices of the concessionaire of Vespucio Sur and the Doctor Luis Tisné Hospital.
