History & Culture

The Story Behind the Dish

📍 Boyacá📅 Traditional🫓 CO

Arepas are Colombia's daily bread, inherited from indigenous peoples who ground corn long before the Spanish arrived. Each region has its own style — and in the cold highlands of Boyacá, arepas are made sweet, buttery and stuffed with fresh cuajada cheese from local dairies.

Travellers on the roads out of Bogotá stop at roadside stalls just to buy them hot off the griddle.
