Things to do Quito Free Tour: Land of Chullas and Cholas

Step into Quito’s rich past on the “Land of Chullas & Cholas” tour: a journey through the alleys, hills, and hidden corners of the city’s Historic Center where history and folklore mingle. Weaving between stone streets and steep ravines, you'll feel the pulse of a living city. Along the way, encounter tales of “chullas” — the city's legendary rogues — and the famous “sal quiteña,” which has nothing to do with seasoning. You’ll hear how locals, including the chagras, were once outwitted by these clever characters. These stories bring Quito’s wit, mischief, and vibrant identity to life. This tour is perfect for travelers who want more than landmarks: expect laughter, surprises, and authentic encounters with the spirit of Quito. Join us and see why every corner here has a story.
