a flag of Acora, being a vertical bicolor of white and green, is seen on many
flagpoles on its anniversary. This flag also appears to be in use more among
regular people.

At
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVvVS90qTD4, a version of the flag is seen
with its coat of arms on its 167th anniversary. This version seems to be used
less commonly, though its status seems to be more official.

a flag of Acora is seen, which appears to be the standard of the district's
government, based on the fact it seems to only be used around the district's
government. Above the coat of arms are the words "MUNICIPALIDAD DISTRITAL",
below the coat of arms reading "ACORA".

The coat of arms is in the shape of an Andean cross with red outlines. In the
center is a device also outlined in red, inside of it being horizontal colors of
white and green (perhaps this is the inspiration for the flag's background).
Centered on this is a circle. The upper section of it appears to represent the
sky and the sun. In the lower section it appears to be soil meeting Lake
Titicaca.

A light blue ~2:3 flag with a coat of
arms on its center; this is Argent three towers Gules set one and two and a
pile diminuished inverted embowed Azure charged with five barrulets wavy Argent.
Samnitic shield on a golden cartouche adorned with dark green engravings and
ducal (?) coronet from which rises, for crest, a gauntlet brandishing a sword
(both Argent) and holding a red ribbon with golden letters (reading what?). For
compartment a trophy of crossed cannons, lying spears and halebards, and a
pyramid of three visible cannonballs; for supporter(s), two flags crossed
behind the shield, dexter being apparently plain blue and sinister ditto
red.
In the Spanish Wikipedia article
about Puno city, this flag shown as the city flag.
