Coat of arms Coming soon

Mexico's flag is a vertical tricolour of green, white and red with the national coat of arms centred on the white. The arms depict an eagle perched on a cactus devouring a serpent — the Aztec legend that marked where Tenochtitlan was founded. Green is commonly read as hope, white as unity, and red as the blood of national heroes.
