Christmas Celebrations


On Christmas Eve, we enjoyed the "typical" Costa Rican meal of tamales and coffee. (yes, with coffee!) Tamales in Costa Rica are made of corn meal and usually contain some pork and vegetables.


We bought 6 piñas (6 packets of tamales- each piña contains 2 tamales). They are wrapped in plantain leaves and tied with twine.

Next, they were boiled in water for about 20 minutes until warmed through.


Then, we enjoyed them with Lizano sauce and coffee!


¡Que Rica!
