Official blazon
Escudo de prata, pala ondada terciada de azul, prata e azul, entre um cacho de uvas de ouro, folhado de verde e um ramo de cerejeira de verde.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 20, 2001.
The wavy pale is a canting element (the name means waterfalls) and is at the same time a symbol for the Cachoeiras river. The grapes and cherries refer to the fruit cultivation and orchards in the parish.
