FLAG THE DREAM OF DON JOSE DE SAN
MARTIN. THE CREATION OF THE FLAG
The Peruvian flag is the main symbol of
nationality. It symbolizes the ideals and
traditions of our people, their progress in the
present and the hopes of the future. It reflects
in its colors and folds the collective soul, that is
why it is owed respect and veneration. The
Constitution states that the flag is three
vertical stripes with the colors red, white and
red. On February 25, 1825, a Bolivar decree
determined the characteristics of our flag,
which remain until today.

efforts to prepare the march of the liberating
army, lay down in the shade of a palm tree and

Then he dreamed that he was in front of a great
port, where there were big ships with flags of
all nationalities. He also dreamed that the sands
of the bay had become a town with tall and
beautiful buildings where many flags fluttered,
but among them there was one that stood out
for its beauty and color, when he fixed his
attention on it he started and woke up.
The sea, always silent, the solitary sands, had
nothing around. And when I thought of the
beautiful flag of his dream, I saw them crossing
