Monte Tabor is a metro station on the Line 5 of the Santiago Metro, in Santiago, Chile. It was opened on February 3, 2011, as part of an extension of the Line 5 from Quinta Normal metro station. It is one of the three stations built on a viaduct on the just mentioned extension.
The platforms and tracks are enclosed by a steel framed structure. The portal frames are rectangular in shape with rounded corners and have different heights, which creates an undulating pattern along the platforms lengthwise. The structure base is overlapped by an arched tensile membrane structure. This portion of the station is laterally covered with sandwich-structured composite panels of aluminum.
The station features a double decker skyway, which connects the platforms to a cylindrical building. The walkway on the lower deck leads to the westbound platform, while the higher walkway crosses over the tracks and connects with the eastbound platform via two stairways and a two-stop elevator.
