=== Coat of arms ===

This Coat of arms was formalized in the eighties, created by Antonio Faccendini. The upper border has a ribbon (with Argentinian flag colors) with the foundation date. The central body is divided into three vertical areas: the first symbolizes the economy (yerba, pineapple and a cogwheel representing industry and work). The central part represents nature, with the majestic "Salto Tabay" and the rising sun representing the future, similar to the national and provincial coat of arms. The right area symbolizes the culture: there are hands holding a Bible (according to essence of the pioneers), an Argentinian flag and a Timbó tree around which the community originated.





=== Flag ===



This symbol was formalized by ordinance in 1999. Its colors symbolize the green jungle of Misiones, the red land of Misiones and the Argentinian flag.
