The flag was originally used by the State of Cundinamarca in
1813. That flag was sometimes used in the 19th century (circa
1813-1860).
Jaume Ollé , 8 September 1996
The original flag was created on the Independence Day, 20 July
1810. It was oficially adopted on 17 July 1813 during a session
chaired by Antonio Nariño, President of the State of
Cundinamarca.. See Cundinamarca Independent
State (1813-1814).

I have been looking in the website of the Cundinamarca Governorship www.cundinamarca.gov.co
and found this about the flag: The blue is darker than the one in
above and as the bottom Flag in Use, however
the description leads: "Por Decreto de 15 de septiembre se
promulgaron y oficialmente sustituyeron a las de España. La
bandera se compone de tres colores a saber: azul celeste,
amarillo tostado y color de punzó. [By decree the 15th September
(1813) where promulgated and offitially substituing those of
Spain. The flag is composed of three colors, which are: sky
blue, burnt yellow and "punzó" color.]
What they mean with punzo I have no clue, but the description
does of the blue does not match the one in the picture (no way I
will call "celeste" that shade of blue).
I have never seen that yellow with gray, red and green details in
the CoA that is displayed above. As far as I know, the coat of arms is
black over white, as displayed on www.cundinamarca.gov.co.
In the site, there is a golden chield in the header with the same
design as the coat of arms, however with no gray, red and green
details. I guess any black over light surface would be
valid.
In the homepage of www.cundinamarca.gov.co
you can see a picture of showing the Governor giving a
Cundinamarca flag to a football team. The blue is definitevely light sky
blue and the coat of arms is black, with coloured details, over white.(larger

"Punzó" is red. Plain medium red.

Flag, seal and hymn of this department
at www.gobercun.gov.co
The flag looks different from the one on top:
- darker shade of blue
- thinner middle bar
- no coat of arms.
Jarig Bakker, 9 September 1999
That flag as such does not exist. It is based on a web image
that was erroneously designed -on a page that is no longer
available. I can affirm that the flag reported on this image does
not exist, has not been manufactured, and if someone sees it
he/she will never take it to represent Cundinamarca. It only
exists because whoever was in charge at the web-site did not have
web flag-waving abilities.

The motto reads "Free and Independent Government of
Cundinamarca" and that the coat of arms is similar to the
one used by the Cundinamarca Independent
State, except that the white field is now yellow.
