By Juan Millalonco Diaz

Are you planning to spend a holiday in the Republic of Chile? If so, then you should definitely go out and have a coffee while you're there. But not just any coffee: No, you have to try the famous Chilean caf con piernas. It is served by seductive and beautiful ladies. The way they dress is optional but one cannot help feeling the coffee tastes better when served by a dark-haired Latin goddess. Caf con piernas or coffee with legs is one of the most interesting things to check out in Chile. Just think about the long legs of a sensual waitress and how good the coffee will really be.

Ask your tour guide about coffee with legs. He will take you to the place where they serve the famous caf con piernas. You can order an espresso and discover the unique way Chileans drink their coffee. No, you are not in Las Vegas. And no, they do not serve any alcohol. But you have to admit that this is one unique way to serve coffee. Waitresses impress with their revealing outfits and clients keep pouring in to order espressos, cappuccinos or caf lattes. The phenomenon definitely attracts tourists, all of them being interested to discover what caf con piernas really mean. Forget Starbucks! This is way better!

Even though Chile is a major producer of coffee beans, the locals prefer instant coffee. And where is the best place to get served if not in such a coffee shop? If some people prefer their coffee with milk, cream or sugar, others like caf con piernas or coffee with legs. The unique tradition established by Chileans has been compared to other cultures, like the Irish for example. They prefer to have their coffee with a small part of whiskey. Chileans, on the other hand, like their coffee with legs. Talk about the best coffee shop in the world! I think you've just found it.

Whether you are a coffee connoisseur or just a tourist looking for a genuinely interesting experience, you have to try the caf con piernas. This is the kind of Chilean phenomenon that one should not miss. As opposed to other places, these stand up coffee bars function throughout the entire week, being the most crowded during the first hours of the day. As it was already mentioned, no alcohol is served but the outfits of the waitresses are definitely hard not to notice.

It's impossible to walk the streets of Chile without running into a Caf con piernas bar. Allow yourself to enter and discover a world where coffee and long legs make the best combination in the world. Include these coffee shops on your itinerary and check out their rather unique dress code. Some waitresses have short, revealing dresses. Others will serve your coffee dress with bikinis or sexy underwear. And don't be surprised to see so many businessmen sipping their espressos while admiring those natural beauties. This is a place where they come not only to have their caffeine fix! Can caf con piernas be considered a Chilean attraction? Without any doubt!
