Known as the \u003ci\u003eBandera Nacional\u003c\/i\u003e, it carries a legendary origin story that is as beautiful as the Peruvian landscape itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to popular tradition, General José de San Martín (the liberator who also played a massive role in the history of the \u003ca title=\"Argentina Flag\" href=\"https:\/\/flagsforgood.com\/products\/argentina-flag\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eArgentina flag\u003c\/a\u003e) was inspired by a flock of parihuanas: flamingos with fiery red wings and white chests. Seeing them take flight over the bay of Paracas in 1820, he supposedly declared, \"There is the flag of liberty!\" In the design, the \u003cb\u003eouter red stripes\u003c\/b\u003e symbolize the blood shed by those who fought for independence, while the \u003cb\u003ecentral white band\u003c\/b\u003e represents peace, purity, and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most unique aspects of this flag is its role in Peruvian law and culture. During Fiestas Patrias (the National Holidays celebrating independence on July 28 and 29), it is actually a legal requirement for all homes, businesses, and institutions in Peru to fly the national flag! This tradition turns entire cities into a sea of red and white, showcasing a level of national synchronized pride that is rarely seen elsewhere in the world. Failure to display the flag during these days can even result in fines from local municipalities!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this civil flag is a clean tricolor, the state version often features the national coat of arms, highlighting the cinchona tree, the vicuña, and a cornucopia of gold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flags For Good","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47876067098869,"sku":"PERU","price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/1373\/3790\/files\/peru-flag.jpg?v=1774372531","url":"https:\/\/flagsforgood.ca\/products\/peru-flag","provider":"Flags For Good","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
