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 Machet� (Almeidas Province).

From <www.cundinamarca.gov.co>:
"La Bandera del Municipio de Manta se compone de tres colores: azul, amarillo y verde, los cuales simbolizan:
El color Azul: es el permanecer de su firmamento en el paisaje como una constante de esperanza y fe de su gente.
El color Amarillo: refleja la riqueza, vitalidad y energ�a de su poblaci�n. En el centro de su franja amarilla encontramos una gran montana vigilante y una lazo abraz�ndola representando la amistad y unidad.
El color Verde: Senal de ecolog�a, verdad y alegr�a de la regi�n."
