SUMMARY
Welcome to the exciting world of coffee tourism with an INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT) twist in the Quechua indigenous community in Colombia. This project is an initiative of the FUNDACIÓN BOSQUE COLOMBIANO in agreement with the Quechúa community, which has been involved in the production and commercialization of coffee for generations. In order to diversify their income and offer visitors a unique experience, they have decided to use IoT technology to improve the efficiency and quality of their coffee production, as well as to enrich the coffee tourism experience.
The Quechúa community is made up of more than 300 families that are mainly dedicated to the cultivation of coffee and the production of traditional handicrafts. Most of the families live in small houses located on the slopes of the mountains and are surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes. The community members are very friendly and hospitable and are eager to share their culture and traditions with visitors.
Coffee tourism is an enriching and unique experience that allows visitors to immerse themselves in coffee culture and learn about the coffee production process, from planting to cup. Visitors will be able to interact with local farmers and learn first-hand about the hard work that goes into growing and producing the high-quality coffee that is exported around the world.
With the incorporation of IoT technology in coffee production, the Quechua community has improved the quality and efficiency of their coffee production. Sensors installed in the coffee fields allow farmers to monitor the level of soil moisture and ambient temperature to ensure that the coffee is grown in ideal conditions. In addition, the use of IoT technology also allows farmers to monitor coffee maturity and optimize harvest time, resulting in better coffee quality and flavor.
In summary, this coffee tourism project with a touch of IoT technology is a unique and unforgettable experience that allows visitors to enjoy beautiful natural landscapes, learn about the culture and traditions of the Quechua community, and experience the delicious coffee produced in the region.
