site report the departmental flag as seen below (Previous Flag, ed.).

My Spanish is not the best, but the description of the flag at
<www.colciencias.gov.co>
does not really match the reported image (Previous
Flag, ed.). There's no image though.
JJ Andersson, 21 June 2002
You're correct. It describe a horizontal tri-color,
green-white-blue, with a red diagonal band (per bend or per bend
sinister, not detailed) with the Guaviare flower at the center. I
assume it to be 3:2. Notice that this site is of or just
preceding 1997 because it refers to the proposed Department
divisions. Could this be a former flag or an official flag that
was later changed and never was hoisted?
Blas Delgado Ortiz, 21 June 2002
4 Departments or states of my country have new flag designs.
Those are. Guainia, Guaviare, Vaupes and Amazonas. The flag of
Guaviare is with three stripes green, white and blue, in the
center of the white stripe there is a mid sun in violet with 16
rays in blue.

I have recently found a site for the Governorship of Guaviare,
Colombia at <www.guaviare.gov.co>,
and the flag they display is the reported Previous
Flag. In the site there is also a picture of the Guaviare
Flower (Flor del Guaviare) and a cleared Coat of Arms.
Carlos Thompson, 5 October 2004
The official
site show now a photo
of a flag and explanation as follows: "Diseñada por el
educador NELSON VEGA CHACON, fue construida en satín con un
largo de 2,40 mts por 1,20 mts de ancho.
Distribuida sobre fondo blanco, de cada una de las esquinas
parten dos franjas de color azul, que se juntan en centro y se
prolongan unidas en una sola franja hasta el final del pabellón.
Se conforma así un campo triangular de color verde que significa
la riqueza y el pujante te esfuerzo de los colonos; el color
blanco significa la paz, la honradez y el trabajo de las gentes
de bien y las franjas azules se conjugan en una sola y simbolizan
los ríos Guayabero y Ariari que al unirse conforman el río
Guaviare."
Wikipedia
show a totally different flag.
Dov Gutterman, 24 May 2006
The flag of Guaviare is shown at <guaviare.gov.co>.
The flag official proportions are 2.40 mts long x 1.20 mts wide,
as designed by Nelson Vega Chacón. Also, the Coat of Arms was
designed by José Antonio Escudero.
However, the flag in the photo
is not 1:2.
