Description of the flag

The current Cochabamba department flag is the flag used by the Cochambians in the Battle of Aroma (Independence war). The celeste is for freedom. [med] In a Bolivian atlas I saw a variant of this flag, with horizontal blue and white. However, I think this is the correct one.

Flag with coat of arms

This image uses a coat of arms from http://www.cs.purdue.edu/homes/krsul; I’m not sure if this is the new coat of arms, though.

Supposedly incorrect variation

[Variant Flag of Cochabamba]
by Jaume Ollé, 02 Nov 1996

According to [bol90] and to W. G. Jilek’s article in [vex] 94, the flag of Cochabamba is horizontal, light blue over white. The blue flag mentioned by some sources is probably erroneous.

New flag in 2002?

I received info that the department in Bolivia adopted a new flag last month.
