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 Viotá (in Tequendama Province). The
colors in the book are green and red which is incorrect. The
correct flag of Viotá is RED and GREEN in a horizontal bi-stripe
with a 3:2 scale.

From www.cundinamarca.gov.co:
"Está formada por dos franjas de igual tamano de colores
verde y rojo.
La parte superior de color verde significa la agricultura,
principal fuente de trabajo y enorme riqueza del municipio.
La parte inferior en color rojo, representa las grandes luchas
agrarias sostenidas en el pasado y las que forman parte del
legado histórico del municipio. También los frutos maduros del
café principal cultivo y fuente de trabajo en la región."
Felipe Carrillo, 20 November 2004
Yesterday, I've called at the Municipality of Viotá, and they
confirmed me the colors of the flag. The colors are RED in first
place and GREEN in second place, in a horizontal bi-stripe.
Confirmed by Municipality of Viotá, Mayor's Office (in Spanish
means "Municipio de Viotá, Despacho del Alcalde").
