Tamales Tolimenses

Tamales tolimenses is a Colombian delicacy named after the Tolima region. This tamale variety is made with corn masa, peas, carrots, potatoes, chicken, pork, rice, and selected spices. Everything is neatly wrapped in plantain leaves, and the tamales are then slowly boiled, sometimes even up to four hours.


Locals love to eat tamales tolimenses for breakfast, traditionally with a cup of hot chocolate on the side.
