The province spans across 1,886 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, encompassing six districts with the capital city of Oyón at 3,620 meters elevation.

Indigenous communities established settlements throughout the region, developing agricultural techniques suited for high-altitude cultivation before the Spanish colonial period.

Each district within the province maintains traditional festivals that incorporate agricultural ceremonies, local music, and regional dance performances throughout the year.

Regular bus services connect the province to Lima, located 156 kilometers away, with journey times varying based on weather conditions in the mountain passes.
