Translated from this site: "It is composed by two horizontal
stripes, of equal width. The first stripe is blue, and the
second, green.
The blue means the atmosphere, that covers the Catatumbo Region,
source of pure oxygen and life; and the rivers that extends in
the territory: Catatumbo, Tarra and Orú giving fertility to this
lands.
The green means the extensive and thick jungle of the Catatumbo
that characterizes this zone. Also means the temperance, the
innocence, the piety, the sweetness, the happiness, the
perseverance, the reward and the loyalty. Also it is the color of
the near mountains."
