While most Ciudad Bolívar's area is rural, its urban portion includes one of the world's largest mega-slums.[2] Its urban area concentrates the poorest population in Bogotá and is known for its rampant levels of violence due to a large activity of gangs, mafia, and at times FARC, the national ex-terrorist group of Colombia.
