The Wiphala is the flag of the Andean peoples, originating from the Aymara language. It symbolizes indigenous wisdom, embodying the principles of universal order (Pachakama) and the cosmic mother (Pachamama). Its design features the sun and day above and the moon and night below.

The Andean cross, known as “chakana” in Quechua, signifies a “ladder to the highest.” It’s a four-sided ladder symbol, bridging the human world with the divine, uniting the lower and higher realms, Earth and the Sun.

The heart symbol is an ideogram that is used to express the idea of affection or love, especially if it is a romantic love.
