The flag is white with two triangles - on the hoist and on the fly, facing each
other and the district coat of arms in the center. The green triangle represents
the amazonian territory, the white fields represent peace and integration, and
the yellow triangle represents the power of life and willing for work and
productivity of the villages of the district. The flag and the coat of arms are
presented
here.

The same basic design is used in the Amazonas regional
flag.

The original description does not match the drawing shown just below it. It
is written: "The upper and lower green stripes...". Morevoer, the description of
the shield highlights "the scroll with the colours of the flag of Rio Santiago",
the scroll being horizontally divided green-white-yellow-green, which would be
consistent with the description of the flag but inconsistent with the flag
image.
The shield is surmonted by a scroll with the colours of Rio Santiago
(green-white-yellow-green), placed over the national flag, symbolizing full
loyalty to the Republic of Peru. The shield surmonts another scroll with the
colurs of Rio Santiago, flanked on the left by a maize plant and on the right by
a rice plant, symbolizing the agricultural resources of the district - as well
as the two banana bunches placed in the lower right part of the shield.
The shield is surrounded by a yellow border charged with the black writing
"MUNICIPALIDAD" (top), "DISTRITAL" (left), "RIO" (bottom), and "SANTIAGO"
(right).The landscaped shield shows a mountainous background with a rising sun,
representing the mother deity of the native culture illuminating the Amazonian
region. A river with a cataract, flanked on the left by three trees, symbolizes
the water and timber resources of Rio Santiago. In the upper right, a big tucan
represents and acknowledges the leadership of the communities located in the
district.
