Overview

Pachavita is a municipality in the Colombian Department of Boyacá, part of the the subregion of the Neira Province. It was founded on 17 November 1796.
The flag of Pachavita is 2:3 in ratio, vertically divided green-white-green and is charged with a tree ("chizo"). According to the description, the tree should have nine branches for the nine "veredas" of this municipality, but it isn't seen as such in the image.
The flag was adopted by the municipal council's decree No. 012 of 24 November 1982 (full text of the decree is in the municipal web site) and it was designed by José Luis Huertas.
