Here is a description of the Coat of Arms and the flag
translated from "Escudos,Banderas e Himnos de
Cundinamarca", Secretaria de Cultura de Cundinamarca:
Coat of Arms - Divided in three parts:
In the upper left, a white field with the Ceiba Macho of the
Parque Principal, representing wisdom, protection, shelter and
fertility.
In the upper right, seven stripes of green and white, a geometric
circular figure white centered representing the sun, synonymous
with life, heat, force, and a ray crossed by the circle,
representing the energy that is generated by the municipality for
the country.
The bottom part has a red triangle, sitting on its base,
synonymous with solidity, firmness, decision, perfection, and on
it the initial letters of the municipality (S.A.T.) in white.
The shield is ornamented in gold to represent the wealth of the
municipality.
Flag - Consists of three colors: green, red and
white. On the left is a red triangle, representing the municipal
head, synonymous with life, force, dynamics, movement; its left
to right direction indicates progress, advance and decision. The
second element is a white stripe that represents Inspecciones de
Policia, Santandercito and Pradilla (this last one shared with
the Municipality of the College, again synonymous with peace and
tranquillity. Finally, fourteen horizontal strips, alternating
green and white, are a way of representing the agricultural
calling and the unshakeable peaceful condition of the settlers of
the territory.
