The beacon was erected on the place where in 1851 the Bolivian flag was risen for the first time. In its modern appearance the national flag exists since 1888, its colours symbolise the following: red – courage of the Bolivian army, yellow – richness of the country's natural resources, green – fertility of its soil.
The Conchupata beacon is a good bearing not to get lost at slightly monotonous streets of Oruro. An excellent view to the town and its suburbs opens from the beacon.
