Macrodistrito Sur
Bolivian popcorn located vendor in Plaza San Pedro.   This was located right outside "San Pedro" prison which became famous due to the book "Marching Powder".  Significantly different from most correctional facilities, inmates at San Pedro have jobs inside the community, buy or rent their accommodation, and often live with their families. The sale of cocaine base to visiting tourists gives those inside a significant income and an unusual amount of freedom within the prison walls. Elected leaders enforce the laws of the community, commonly through stabbing. The prison is home to approximately 1,500 inmates

I was supprised by the beautiful structure of the city. I did not meet any problem walking the city. I meet nice people there. I recommend La Paz. FYI, there is a visa requirement for USA citizen which will cost $160. One can get visa at the Airport.
