The province maintains a mix of Spanish, Quechua, and Aymara languages, reflecting the diverse indigenous communities living in thirteen distinct districts.

The provincial temperature ranges from 17 to 19 degrees Celsius in coastal areas and 12 to 15 degrees Celsius in highland regions throughout the year.
