The Flag of Quintana Roo is the flag used by the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. The flag was adopted January 1, 2016. The State Flag consists of a white rectangle with a ratio of four to seven between the height and width; in the center it bears the State Coat of arms. Legally, the coat of arms should occupy one third of the height and width in the same 4-to-7 ratio. However, in reality it does not, as it is taller than it is wide; it is either set large at one third the width or small at one third the height.
The Coat of arms of Quintana Roo is a symbol of the Free and Sovereign State of Quintana Roo. In English, it is blazoned Party per fess: I party per pale, first gules a snail Or, second azure a mullet argent; and II Or a tree vert. And the crest is a rising sun with eleven rays.
Quintana Roo is one of the 32 federal entities of Mexico. Each Mexican state has its own coat of arms and flag, often incorporating symbols from pre-Columbian civilizations, colonial heritage, and natural landscapes.
