Peruvian Delegation Logo

Our logo, is based in the iconography of the majestic walls that surround the beautiful citadel of Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in Latin America and since 1986 declared as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO.

This citadel is located in the peruvian northern coast and it was constructed by the pre-Inca culture Chimu. Their beautiful walls are decorated by fish and bird figures, they represent their strong relationship with the sea.

Just like our destination is Japan, which flag is represented by the Hinomaru (the sun’s circle); our historical origins is Chan Chan, which in spanish means “the magnificent sun”. The fish, chimu iconography, represent our relationship with the sea and our identification with the Ship of World Youth’s culture and program.
