Quindio, Colombia Exhibition

Welcome to the 3D Exhibition of Quindio, Colombia. This exhibition features my experiences during my visit to Colombia with the University of Texas. I saw a lot of coffee farms and beautiful nature, especially birds. Join me in exploring the highlights of this beautiful region.

22 People in One Jeep

Yes, you read that right. During my trip, I and 21 other passengers rode in this Willy Jeep across the beautiful Colombian landscape. Willys are a common sight and symbolize the resilience and spirit of the Quindio region.

Specialty Coffee Farm

In contrast to other coffee farmers, he has specialized in specialty coffee and creating an experience for tourists. It was the first time I saw how coffee was harvested, processed, and tasted it. It was a really pleasant experience. At the finca, he told us that he started out working in the cocaine business. Through work in the business, he transitioned to having his own specialty coffee farm. The question arises: is it okay to indulge in the drug business in his situation? He was very poor, and as an uneducated worker, he had no future. Engaging in the business posed violence to people, his country, and himself. How much are we willing to sacrifice to make it? People living in poverty have no future, and sometimes the choices are stark.

What do you think about his situation?

Migration

This statue represents for me the migration of young adults from small villages to big cities and even northward in search of better opportunities. Despite the beauty and tranquility of these villages, the lack of high-skill jobs drives this migration.

Diversity Pillar

Colombia's biodiversity is one of its greatest treasures. During my visit, I was captivated by the stunning nature and diverse wildlife, including birds and monkeys. It's a testament to Colombia being one of the most beautiful natural destinations in the world.

The Winner Takes It All

During my journey, I encountered numerous new experiences, like the frog coin game. This game taught me that there is always something new to learn in life. It was an enlightening and fun experience. Five out of five stars.

Music Connects

Music is a universal language that connects people and cultures. Even though I often struggled to understand the colombian accent, the sound of salsa always got me on the dance floor. I encourage everyone to try salsa dancing—it’s a fantastic way to connect with others!

Never Forget History

This statue of Guillermo Cano Isaza represents the resilience and tradition of the Colombian people. Statues of famous figures are common throughout Colombia, reminding us of the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
