Buñuelos Colombanos

Among the immense variety of buñuelos, buñuelos colombianos (Colombian donuts), made with queso costeño (coastal cheese) and responding to all these preparations called amasijos, are the stars of Colombian Christmas.
The word “buñuelo” is part of the Spanish culinary lexicon and obeys the culinary result that materializes when a dough is passed through a frying bath, whether the fat is of vegetable or animal origin.

Roman Catholicism is the dominant faith and deeply culturally pervasive. While the national department of statistics does not record the religious affiliations of the population, various studies and surveys suggest approximately 90% of Colombians are Christian.
The most recent estimates published by the Pew Research Centre in 2014 proposed that 79% of the population identify as Catholic whilst 13% identify with Protestantism.

Colombia is not yet a booming tourist hotspot, which is great for those looking for a more off the beaten path location. It is quite affordable with accommodation ranging from cheap hostels to five-star resorts. Food is plentiful, nutritious and well priced particularly for those wanting to sample the local fare, although western style dining is readily available, particularly in tourist areas. El Dorado International Airport in Bogota is the main gateway into Colombia.
