To this province belongs the municipalities of Sogamoso, Cuítiva, Pesca, Tota, Iza, between others, along with the Lake Tota and some Andean páramos like the Páramo de La Sarna.

The Reserva Natural Xieti is a private natural reserve located at shore of Lake Tota, Tota munipality, Province of Sugamuxi, central-eastern Boyacá, Colombia, approximately 3015 masl. The reserve has a portion of native high-Andean forest near to shore of lake and other patches of introduced pine (Pinaceae: Pinus spp) and eucalypts (Myrtaceae: Eucalyptus spp). It is configured as one of the few natural reserves in the region associated with Lake Tota in the middle of an extensive onion agricultural production area.
