The village is located approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) southeast of the town of Jakobstad along the regional road 741 [fi], which is narrow and winding, and there are no pedestrian or bicycle paths on the road; this makes the road dangerous, especially since approximately 1,300 vehicles pass through the village every day.[2][3]

The village's services include Purmo School, which serves the entire Purmo area,[4] and the K-Market Handelsboden grocery store.[5]
