Arepas are a dish that can be found in every corner of Colombia, as they were passed down from pre-Columbian ancestors. Because cornflour is readily available in every supermarket, many Colombians make it at home, and it can be a fun family activity. Don’t forget to try the arepa de choclo (sweet arepa), arepa de queso (savory cheese-filled arepa), arepa'e huevo (deep-fried arepa with an egg inside), and arepa boyacense (baked).

It is a complete and substantial meal made up of three types of potatoes: one hard and white potato thinly sliced, one soft potato that basically melts and gives the dish its thickness and texture, and a yellow and tiny potato that also adds body and flavor.
