Also he was a diplomat from Colombia in Peru, Argentina, Spain and France. Caballero was elected as congressman two times for the department of Boyacá and was mayor of Tipacoque. Cabellero Calderón began writing in the 1940s and rose to prominence in the 1950s and 1960s. His most known books are ''El Cristo de espaldas'' (Backwards Christ) (1952), ''Siervo sin tierra'' (Landless Servant) (1954), ''La penúltima hora'' (The Hour Before the Last) (1955), and ''Manuel Pacho'' (1962), which are mainly depictions of events related to the bipartisan violence in Colombia (La Violencia).
