municipality, represented by several sources and watering places,
such as La Loma, Burbuja, Las Animas, Culebrita, Andrea, El Oso,
Cundina and Bujuriama.
White symbolizes peace prevailing in the municipality. It is
also, allegorically, a symbol of the religiosity of the villagers
and their different faiths and devotions to God.
Green symbolizes the eastern cordillera, the crops and the flora
rich in deiverse shribs and plants.
