Flag: Bolivia 🇧🇴
Copy & Meaning

The flag of Bolivia, a landlocked country in central South America famous for the otherworldly Uyuni Salt Flats. The flag features three horizontal bands of red, yellow, and green from top to bottom. The red represents the blood shed for independence, the yellow symbolizes the country's vast mineral wealth especially the world's largest lithium reserves, and the green represents the natural environment including the Amazon rainforest. The state version includes the national coat of arms in the center.

Bolivia is home to Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat covering 10,582 square kilometers, which becomes a magical mirror reflecting the sky during the rainy season. La Paz at 3,640 meters is the world's highest capital city. About 60% of Bolivia's population is indigenous (Aymara, Quechua, and others), making it one of the most indigenous-majority countries in the Americas. Other highlights include Lake Titicaca, the ancient Tiwanaku ruins, and the colonial silver-mining city of Potosí.
