The parish of Amarillos (2,167 ha) is located in the north of Loja
province, 15 km of Chaguarpamba and 130 km of Loja.
Amarillos was
established in 1930 by a group of colonists led by Domingo Armijos, Virginia
Paladines, José Criollo and Ignacio Largo. Originally named Colina de
Bolívar (Bolívar's Hill), the village was renamed to Amarillos for the great
number of yellow ipê (Spanish, "amarillo", lit. "yellow) growing in the
area.
The parish of Amarillos was established on 30 April 1992.

The flag of Amarillos was established as a due tribute of identity, valor
and respect to the population, which is synthesized in this symbol, synonym
of honor, loyalty and development of a great, enterprising village.
The
panel is divided into two stripes, the upper, gold, as a symbol of resources
and guard, and the lower, green, symbolizing the fields, ecology and hope.
The coat of arms of Amarillos is placed in the center of the flag.
The coat of arms, designed by Maura Ríos, is surmounted by a silver star
representing protection. In chief are placed eight stars representing the
boroughs forming the parish. The upper part of the shield features clouds
over green fields crossed sinister by Bolívar waving his sword as a symbol
of honor and protection. The chapel hosting the cross of Calvary and
welcoming the Cisne Virgin during her pilgrimage, is featured in the center.
Dexter stands an "amarillo" tree symbolizing vegetation flowered or. In the
center of the shield is placed a cornucopia. In base a pickax and a spade
represent work and progress.The scroll is inscribed with the parish's name
and year of foundation. The shield is surrounded by two parish flags, yellow
symbolizing light and green hope, honor and loyalty.

[The flag is shown divided green-yellow, but the written description and the
flags surrounding the shield on the coat of arms are clear evidence that it
is indeed yellow-green.]
