Flag Description: The flag features a green field. On the hoist side (left side from the viewer's perspective), there is a brown tree (rubber tree) with four white diagonal cuts on its trunk and a white cup for collecting latex beneath them. A horizontal yellow stripe runs across the lower part of the flag, from which an ascending diagonal yellow stripe branches off in the central section towards the upper fly corner.
Symbolism: The green field symbolizes the lush vegetation and the Amazon rainforest. The brown tree with cuts and a collection cup represents the rubber tree (seringueira) and traditional latex extraction, which was vital to the region's development. The yellow stripes represent the municipality's geographic location, road connections, and rivers.
