About the flag

It is a white over light blue ascending diagonal 2:3 flag with quasi-heraldic emblem over all, showing inside a Chilean-style shield divided per pall reversed a tree (dexter), a cow head (sinister) and some sort of fruit (base).

It appears clearly in this weblinks:

These urls, as sadly usual, are neither pointing to their original contents not redirecting to a new location of same. The context pages were archived, but the photos on them were not:

The current communal website (totaly craptastic, BTW, needing some mad skills to bypass the splash screen) doesn’t seem to include anything on the flag — neither photos nor written description or even reference, but it does show two slightly different versions of the logo, neither of which is the one shown on the flag:

However, in the Wikimedia Commons the very same Sergio Arenas / Xaruco Ponce uploaded in 2009 (two years after this report), a version of this that is slightly different: 3:4 descending diagona with much smaller emblem, sourced to other examples of local useage: One to a meanwhile vanished website http://www.goredelosrios.cl/fotografias.htm, and the other to http://www.munipaillaco.cl/, the official communal website, which, as mentioned, was meanwhile modified. The emblem is depicted in this 2009 version of the flag in yet another rendition.
