The Qulla (Quechuan for south,[5] Hispanicized and mixed spellings: Colla, Kolla) are an Indigenous people of western Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina living in west of Jujuy, and west of Salta Province. The 2004 Complementary Indigenous Survey reported 53,019 Qulla households living in Argentina.[4] They moved freely between the borders of Argentina and Bolivia.[6] Their lands are part of the yungas or high altitude forests at the edge of the Amazon rainforest.[1]
