It's all on line. Go to Lonely Planet guides, it is all there. Same ferry to Copacabana.
I rode around the back side of Titicaca in 2007. We had to sneak our bikes back into Peru. It worked! We never even knew when we crossed the border! Fantastic scenery, tho I don't recommend it if you like stamps in your passport...

As far as I remember, we just followed the road and rode onto shonky old gappy wooden punt type ferries, I forget the price, but they were slippery as well
It was not a border crossing though, it was after the border, in Bolivia itself on the way to La Paz

Not sure if it is the same ferry, but I caught a small ferry between La Paz and Copacabana (both in Bolivia). Then from Copacabana its about 10km to the Peru border. Good roads and an easy border crossing
Its a small ferry, cost around 20Bob and normally you need to wait for a car. The surface is not great so the exit can be a bit tricky (unless you have a reverse gear)

Yepper, thems the ones we were on, thanks for the photos, reminds me so much of nearly having an off as I exited the ferry, a slight back end slippage on the crap deck.
