The flag of the Parlamento Amazónico is white with the Parliament's emblem in
the middle. The emblem is made of two stylized ocher hands holding a tree made
of 8 (3+1+2+1+1) dark green triangles, symbolizing for sure Amazonia and the
eight countries represented in the Parlamento Amazónico. A photo of the flag,
hoisted together with the flag of the member countries during a forum of the
Parliament, can be seen on the webpage of the Peruvian congressman Carlos Cánepa
