There are three adaptations for television: a series produced by the Colombian company Caracol (2006), a version by RTI Colombia–Telemundo and a version by Spain's Telecinco. The novel also was adapted to a film directed by Bolívar himself.
He is also known for writing the novel El capo and later adapting it to a telenovela. He also was the creator of the telenovelas Victorinos, Ojo por ojo and Tres Caínes.
