Most of the farmers in Pica own less than five hectares, and while this size hampers commercialization of products farmers have responded by organising themselves in cooperatives. As in many oases one of the biggest challenges for farmers in Pica is the scarcity of water. The socavones transported water from the Pica Aquifer to the oasis. In 1918 geologist Juan Brüggen mentioned the existence of 23 socavones in the Pica oasis, yet these have since then been abandoned due to economic and social changes. Pica had once an extensive irrigation system of puquios, whose shafts are locally known as socavones. The Peruvian population of the town and specifically the rich and influential Peruvian families were a major concern for Chilean authorities who wished to Chilenize the area. The town became part of Chile following the War of the Pacific (1879–1883). The first mining cycle that benefited Pica was the silver mining of Huantajaya and San Rosa between 17, this was then followed by a cycle of salpeter mining using the paradas method between 18. Pica gained prominence over the course of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries when it grew in association with important mining cycles of nearby areas. Bird mummies of pre-Hispanic origin have been found next to Pica. The settlement has pre-Hispanic origins and served as an important stopover for transit between the coast and the Altiplano during the time of the Inca Empire. Pica has a mild microclimate that does not display the typical high temperature oscillations seen in many of the worlds deserts. The town lies four kilometers to the northeast of the oasis village of Matilla.

The town has a communal hot spring with a surface temperature of 40 ☌, which makes it a popular bath place in the middle of the desert. Situated in the inland of the Atacama Desert on an oasis, Pica is famous for its small and unusually acidic limes known as Limón de Pica.
