Hi Francisco!

Try to add
\usepackage{graphicx}
to your preamble and *convert the image to a jpg ... and use
\includegraphics[height=2cm]{escudo}
in your document (see below). It worked here.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\includegraphics[height=2cm]{escudo}

\lipsum[2]
\end{document}
