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 Choachí (Oriente Province).

From <www.cundinamarca.gov.co>:
"Compuesta por dos franjas horizontales, el 60% está compuesto por la franja de color blanco en la parte superior y el 40% en color vinotinto en la parte inferior, sus colores significan lo siguiente:
Blanco, la tranquilidad que goza el municipio, pureza y honestidad de su gente.
Vinotinto, fuerza, energía y lealtad del pueblo chiguano."
Felipe Carrillo, 20 November 2004
