Overview

I have just received from the Government of Cundinamarca a book that deals with on the shields and flags of this department. This book is called "Shields, Flags and Hymns of Cundinamarca", written by Rosalba Salazar Gallo for the Secretariat of Culture of Cundinamarca. Here is the flag of Gachetá (Capital of Guavio Province).

From <www.cundinamarca.gov.co>:
"Consta de tres franjas horizontales de igual tamano.
La primera franja de color verde, reflejo de los bosques, praderas y cultivos.
La segunda franja de color rojo, como recuerdo de la sangre de los mártires.
La tercera franja de color azul celeste, hace honor al cielo y el agua, esta última patrimonio energético del país."
Felipe Carrillo, 20 November 2004
