Shield Argent, a pale wavy Azure charged with a pallet wavy Argent between a grapevine Or leaved Vert at dexter and a branch of cherry Vert fruited Gules. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll with inscription in black initials: "CACHOEIRAS".
Meaning:
The pale wavy is a canting element ("cachoeiras" means "cataract"). Vine and cherries are symbolizing agriculture as economical base of the commune.
