Translated from municipal
web site:
"The flag was designed by a Captain of the Santander
Batallion, with the following colours:
- Green, symbolizing the agroforestry an nature resources of the
municipality;
- White, symbolizing the pacific relationships among the sons of
this people, the cause of the nickname of "Haven of
Peace" awarded to the municipality. In the middle of the
flag, a rising sun representing the beautiful sunset
appearing on the banks of river Magdalena, radiating joy,
tranquillity and clam to the natives and foreigners. The upper
rays represent the "corregimientos" while the lower
rays represent the "veredas", shown in yellow
representing the resources of the municipality.
- Blue, recalling the lakeside-like, bank zone and its big fish
and agroforestry resources, watered by the majestuous river
Magdalena, carrying the water potential from the mountain and
savanna."
