Translated from municipal web site: "Rectangular, striped from the upper left corner to the lower right corner. A white stripe, emblem of the abundant crystalline waters that waters the municipal territory, fimbriated with black stripes representing the slates from which the waters come, separating the lower right green triangle, coloured as chlorophyl feeding the exuberant nature, and the upper left blue triangle, symbolizing the vast sky and integrating the foothills landscape."
The coat of arms, designed by Gustavo Mateus Cortés, is of Swiss shape. The dexter field of the shield is gules, representing the ceremonial colour of the Achiote, who painted in red the notables' skin and stained in red their mantles and cloaks. The field is charged with the Cardeñosa, the heroin of the Tegua culture (The village was originally funded as Teguas on 30 November 1602 by Luis Henriquez), representing value, intrepidity, martyre and exemplary action and leadership. The sinister field of the shield is sable, representing slates, charged with the "El Chorreron" waterfall (Photograph here) fimbriated vert, representing the local natural environment. The point of the shield depicts the Campohermoso landscape, watered by river Lengupa that vanishes with river Upía into the plains' horizon, and with a sun rising lighting the confluency of the departments of Boyacá, Casanare, Cundinamarca and El Meta. The shield is surmonted by a zebu's head, symbolizing the main economic activity of the municipality. Some 17,000 zebus produce daily 13,760 liters milk.
