Translated from Municipal
website:
"- Green: our abundant fauna and flora;
- Blue: our various rivers and brooks."
The coat of arms is made of an horizontally divided white-yellow
shield. The white part is charged with a black condor standing
over geen mountains. Condors have indeed ben observed for a few
years in the mountains of La Vega. The yellow part is charged
with two branches of coffee, representing the main crop in the
warm part of the municipality.
The shield is flanked by wheat ears, representing the main crop
in the cold part of the municipality. The shield is charged in
the middle with a white oval bearing the building of the
"Planta de la Normal Antigua", founded 51 years ago as
the first educational institution in the village.
