There also exists a version of the flag with the coat of arms. The province was formed on June 12, 1989. Major industries in the province from what I can see are mining and agriculture.

Cerro Lunar

Cerro Lunar flag image by Daniel RenterĂ­a, 27 December 2023

Like La Rinconada, Cerro Lunar is also a mining town, being just outside of it. Cerro Lunar was created on January 28, 2004. Its flag can be seen flying at Google Maps in front of the municipal government building. Its name means "lunar hill", likely because the terrain it is on looks like such.

Chuquine

Chuquine flag   Chuquine flag images by Daniel RenterĂ­a, 5 January 2024

At https://www.facebook.com/100947319088527/photos/a.100954109087848/100954965754429/, the flag of Chuquine is clearly visible. On the hoist side is a yellow portion of a circle, overlaid on a horizontal triband of blue, white, and green. In the center is the municipal coat of arms.

Chuquine appears to be a newly created municipality, 2017 according to Wikipedia and by seeing the municipal FB page. Since it is so new, I have not found a record of when it became a municipality. If we take the words of the government's Facebook page, then Chuquine became a municipality on December 2, 2017. A Peruvian census recorded the population at 267. It appears to be a mining town, based on the municipal coat of arms, as with many C.P. municipalities of the district.
Daniel RenterĂ­a, 5 January 2024

I did end up finding that Chuquine was created by resolution on November 30, 2017. And as I assumed, it finally took full force on December 2. Dates of becoming an actual municipality appear to not be accounted for in Peruvian municipal information documents, only dates the resolutions creating these were adopted.

Trapiche

Trapiche flag image by Daniel RenterĂ­a, 26 December 2023

At https://www.facebook.com/photo we can see a resolution adopting the fairly new flag (and coat of arms) of the municipality of Trapiche. This was done after a contest was started in the municipality on June 28 and concluded on September 24, 2021.

By Resolution N° 004 - 2021 MCPT/A, both the flag and coat of arms were approved on October 3, 2021. And also a bit of knowledge, Trapiche gained municipal status on December 21, 2001, so this contest was done just in time to celebrate its 20th anniversary; very likely, this was a major factor in having a contest for municipal symbols. The symbolism of the municipal symbols can really only be inferred, and thankfully the resolution provides the official images of the symbols in Annex 1 and 2.

The flag of Trapiche was created by Amadeo Gomez Quispe.

Putina District

It appears Putina District either has no flag or uses the same flag as the provincial flag. If the page on Wikipedia for Mayors of Putina is correct, it seems that the mayor of Putina Province is also regarded as such for the city (which I can confirm has no government) and district of Putina. Of course though, it seems this is a ceremonial title. As a result, it appears that administration for the district is tied very closely to the province, much more so than other districts of the province.

San Isidro

A newer flag of San Isidro. There exists some clear images at https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=128399552755334&set=pcb.128400559421900. Sadly, I do not know anything about the flag, as with most Peruvian municipal flags.

Earlier flag

San Isidro flag image located by Daniel RenterĂƒÂ­a, 2 January 2024

At the Flickr page of the district's government (posted in 2013) https://www.flickr.com/photos/muniputinavirtual, the flag of San Isidro is visible. Clearly it is inspired by the Peruvian flag, however in the center it says the name, San Isidro, and its status as a "centro poblado" (populated place) municipality. San Isidro became a municipality on August 24, 1990.

At 10:32 in this video https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=499667041310360, the flag of San Juan de Cayacaya is visible (albeit blurry). The shortened version of the municipality's name is Cayacaya. The municipality was founded on December 18, 2002.

Santa Ana de Tarucani

Santiago Giraldo flag image located by Daniel RenterĂƒÂ­a, 5 January 2024

At https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=4011192825594427&set=pcb.3967409163306127, the flag of Santa Ana de Tarucani is visible. I have created a drawing of it, but just to note, I am not entirely sure how the text should be. It is a horizontal triband of green, white, and blue with a red triangle on the hoist side. There probably exists a version without text, however, I am only aware of this specific version.

Tarucani became a municipality by law from May 19, 1995. 273 people were recorded by a Peruvian census.

It appears this flag is also the winner of a contest for a flag and coat of arms, in which its winners were announced on March 30, 2021. Unsure if there was a previous flag, but considering the pattern of municipal flags in the country, I would assume it was the Peruvian flag with the municipality's name on it. This was done most likely in preparation for the anniversary of the municipality.

Santiago Giraldo

Santiago Giraldo is a municipality located in an urban collectively known as Putina. It became a municipality on August 29, 1991.

Its flag is a triband of sky blue and white. In the center is the municipal coat of arms. Above and below is black text with white and black outlines. The text above is arched and says "MUNICIPALIDAD C.P." (initialism of "centro poblado", term for non-district municipalities; in English literally translated as "populated area".) Below is text which says "SANTIAGO GIRALDO", the municipality name.
