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 Gachal� (Guavio Province).

From <www.cundinamarca.gov.co>:
"Compuesta por dos colores, distribuidos en iguales franjas horizontales en colores verde y blanco:
El verde simboliza los campos y vegetaci�n, sus cultivos tradicionales y sus paisajes. Adem�s simboliza la esperanza de todos los habitantes del municipio, de poder construir una sociedad pr�spera, encaminada a lograr el progreso de la jurisdicci�n.
El blanco, es s�mbolo de la paz, anhelada por los gachalunos a trav�s de toda su historia."
