Sandia Province spans 11,862 square kilometers across southeastern Peru, featuring mountain ranges, valleys, and ten distinct administrative districts within its boundaries.

The province carries deep indigenous roots from pre-Hispanic times, with significant Aymara settlements established long before Spanish colonization reached the region.

The population of 50,742 residents maintains strong connections to Quechua and Aymara languages, which remain primary means of communication across the territory.

The provincial capital, Sandia, functions as the central point for administrative services and connects to other districts through a network of regional roads.

The province contains diverse ecological zones at different altitudes, supporting traditional agricultural practices including potato cultivation and alpaca herding.
