The municipality covers an area of approximately 287 square kilometers and has a population of around 12,000 residents according to recent estimates.

The region's economy is primarily based on agriculture, with potato cultivation, dairy farming, and coffee production serving as the main economic activities for the predominantly rural population. The municipality's location in the Andes gives it a cool, temperate climate despite its proximity to the equator, with elevations ranging from 2,000 to over 3,500 meters above sea level.
