A giant Cusquenian flag on the San Pedro traditional market<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The flag of Cusco has 7 horizontal stripes with all the colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue and purple. This makes many tourists confuse this flag with LGTBIQ+ community flag which represents the fight of the lesbians, gays, transexuals, bisexuals, intersexuals and a long etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, it\u2019s difficult to discern between the two, but we want to teach you an excellent tip to help you know which is which without much analysis. The main difference is the light blue stripe on the Cusquenian flag. This means that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/traditional\/cusco\/city-tour-cusco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Cusco<\/strong><\/a> flag has 7 colors, and the flag of the LGTBIQ+ movement has 6. Now you\u2019re an expert in differentiating between them!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image fancy-gallery\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a class=\"fancy-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/meme-atahuallpa-nice-cusco-flag-ass.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"499\" height=\"304\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/meme-atahuallpa-nice-cusco-flag-ass.jpg\" alt=\"Meme about cusquenian flag\" class=\"wp-image-907\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A little meme to understand better the difference<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-did-the-cusco-flag-come-about\">How did the Cusco flag come about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you\u2019ve heard some Cusquenians say that the multicolored flag is the flag of Tawantinsuyu, meaning it came from the very Inca Empire. However, that is a lie. There\u2019s no historical evidence to prove that claim. On top of that, according to specialists and historians, the concept of a \u201cflag\u201d was imported from Europe. So the Incas didn\u2019t even have the custom of representing a nation or social group with a flag. About this, the most important historian in <strong>Peru<\/strong>, Maria Rostworowski, emphatically affirmed that this flag didn\u2019t exist then and was never used by the Incas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tawantinsuyu-s-flag-wiphala\">Tawantinsuyu&#8217;s flag? Wiphala?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What is true is that since 1948, there\u2019s been a radio station in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/traditional\/cusco\/city-tour-cusco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Cusco<\/strong><\/a> called \u201cTawantinsuyu\u201d that plays popular traditional music and was funded by Mr. Ra\u00fal Montesinos Espejo. This man was who presented the \u201cflag of the Incas\u201d in the 25th anniversary of his radio station. This design of 7 horizontal stripes captivated the people after being carried in a procession to the Plaza de Armas. This great flag was made with the sponsorship of the beer factory Cervesur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many tell the story that, in creating its design, Mr. Ra\u00fal Montesinos was inspired by the wiphala, an Aymara banner of seven colors created in Bolivia in 1945 for the First Indigenist Congress. Unlike the flag of Cusco, a checkered design characterizes the wiphala. The fact that the owner of Radio Tawantinsuyu spent part of his childhood in Bolivia reaffirms this theory.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image fancy-gallery\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a class=\"fancy-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/donplacencia.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/donplacencia-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\" Wiphala holding by a man in Bolivia\" class=\"wp-image-908\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: @donplacencia. Wiphala in Bolivia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Little by little, Ra\u00fal Montesinos\u2019 design grew in popularity over the whole city and is linked to the ancient Tawantinsuyu by many. Because of this, after 5 years in 1978, Julio Gilberto Mu\u00f1iz Capar\u00f3, mayor of the Municipality of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/traditional\/cusco\/city-tour-cusco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Cusco<\/strong><\/a> declared official this flag without having presented any type of studies to back up his decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This flag has been accepted also, until this day, by diverse indigenous groups in countries like Ecuador and Bolivia and entered forcefully in diverse traditional practices.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image fancy-gallery\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a class=\"fancy-gallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/huntermatt-cusco-flag-ukukus-pablitos.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"890\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/huntermatt-cusco-flag-ukukus-pablitos-890x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Pablitos of Tawantinsuyu nation using Cusquenian flag\" class=\"wp-image-905\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: @huntermatt.

The conclusion of this meeting was a recommendation to change the design of the flag. In that moment, the Municipality announced that they would hold a public consultation to decide on the change. However, until now, no one has heard any more news about the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Really, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/traditional\/cusco\/city-tour-cusco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Cusco<\/strong><\/a> flag has widespread approval from its citizens.
