The Qulla (Quechuan for south,[5] Hispanicized and mixed spellings: Colla, Kolla) are an Indigenous people of western Bolivia, northern Chile, and the western portions of Jujuy and Salta provinces in Argentina. 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] While mostly living in arid highlands, their easternmost lands are part of the yungas, a altitude forests at the edge of the Amazon rainforest.[1]
