This yellow-blue-red banner started life as the flag of Gran Colombia, the short-lived republic Simon Bolivar and Francisco de Miranda built from the old Spanish colonies, which is why Ecuador's and Venezuela's flags look like cousins rather than strangers. Yellow stands for the country's mineral wealth, blue for its rivers and coastline, red for the fight for independence.
What 🇨🇴 means
