Description of the flag

The flag of Beni was adopted in the last years and symbolize the landscape of the region. Frequently the shield is in the center.
Jaume Ollé, 02 Nov 1996

There was a plain green flag in the bolivian flag history, the brief 1854-1855 national flag. Could it have been the source for the dep. flag of Beni?

Flag of Beni
image by Jarig Bakker and António Martins, 09 May 2004

This coat of arms, from www.bolivian.com/himnos/beni.html, is much better looking, with brighter colors and clearer design — but it is also slightly different: The several scenes depicted on the divisions of the shield are different in many details, and shows the name of the department on the top of the shield, absent from the other version.
António Martins, 19 Jan 2000


Flag-related departmental anthem

Second stanza of the departmental hymn, from www.bolivian.com/himnos/beni.html:

El verde que flamea en mi bandera,
emblema de esperanza y de grandeza,
es la imagen del Beni, la riqueza
de esta sierra feliz de promisión.
Jarig Bakker, 19 Jan 2000
