The flag is described as follows (original in Spanish):

It is composed of three equal stripes, the meanings of which are:
Yellow: Represents the immense gold wealth that these lands have always possessed.
Green: Signifies the forested area and the grandeur of its territory.
Black: As we once had lands with oil wells, and the effects of this fact are still felt, this painful memory is remembered.
