Ciudad Bolívar, Urban locality in southern Bogotá, Colombia.
The locality encompasses 13,000 hectares of land with mixed urban and rural zones at an elevation of 2,600 meters above sea level.
The area transformed from agricultural haciendas into residential neighborhoods during the 1950s as Bogotá experienced rapid population growth and urban expansion.
The 48 public schools and 576 parks form centers of education and recreation for the 850,000 residents of this southern Bogotá district.
The TransMiCable gondola system connects the mountainous neighborhoods to the TransMilenio network, providing transportation across the steep terrain.
Paleontological excavations in the area revealed fossil remains of Etayoa bacatensis, contributing to scientific understanding of Colombia's prehistoric fauna.
