Yum!! We make gorditas (which I think are just Arepas by another name), but have never put an egg in them…I love this idea! Everything looks amazing…wish I could come to Columbia and experience it all first hand

I haven’t had breakfast yet (and its almost lunch time)….I’m really loving those corn cakes filled with eggs!! and the corn cakes filled with cheese…oh man, everything looks good.

All very delicious except for the changua, which just grosses me out. Fortunately it’s never been offered to me except in Villa de Leyva.
Thank you all for visiting my site
