First stop we will have our first tasting of the "Salteña Andean empanada" along with the historical explanation about El Penal de San Pedro, located in La Paz, Bolivia, it is a historic prison with a fascinating history and a unique atmosphere. Built in the 19th century, this complex is located in the heart of the city, near the historic center. What makes the Penal notable is its unique structure and internal functioning. Unlike many conventional prisons, San Pedro has a very particular social dynamic. Within its walls, communities exist and manage their own systems of government, commerce, and daily activities. The prison houses not only inmates, but also their families, who live within its confines and participate in the daily life of the prison. This has led to the creation of a complex and vibrant social microcosm within its walls, where inmates work, study, trade and even establish small businesses.
