Cantons:

Sierra region. The capital is Loja.

Red over yellow over red, and the red and yellow separated by
two more little stripes. In the center an arc with ten white
stars.

Flag and Coat of Arms could be seen at <www.explored.com.ec>.

At <www.cuencanet.com>,
the arrangment of the stars is
different from Jaume's report.
Dov Gutterman, 15 June 2001
I have 9 stars. Arrangement was slighty changed when a 10th
star was added. I dont know the meaning of stars (theres 16
cantons). About the size of the stripes Smith gives 2:2:1:2:2, a
Ecuatorian plate 1:1:2:1:1, and Restrepo 2:1:2:1:2. There are
contradictory reports because sometimes there is a confusion with
cantonal flags of similar name.

J.J. Andersson reported <www.explored.com.ec>.
I found two sites with different color shades:
- <www.lahora.com.ec>
-representing Loja Canton, a simple flag without stars but with
the basic colors of Loja, which can be seen at the link provided
by Andersson. (see: Variant (?))
- <www.ambato.com>
-representing darker shade of blue.
I agree that the dark-blue flag has the right shade of colors and
beauty to be the real one, but the previous two links uses the
basic colors version instead.

At <www.hcpl.gov.ec>
there is the flag for official use of the Loja province. It
seems that at several administrative units at latinamerica it is
usual, that the heads of the unit use the administrative flag
with the full Coat of Arms in the flag.
