Paid 20 BOBs for the motorcycle.
When travelling on the bike keep in mind that on the other side you will have to leave the ferry backwards. Turning around on the planks during the ride was not possible. The guys helped me though pushing the bike up the shoreline.

Crossing with bikes from San Pedro. We were four bikes and were told we had to wait for 2 cars to go in order for us to cross too. Two cars showed up within 5 minutes.

We paid 5 bolivianos/person and that included the bikes. Kind folks! We had lunch in San Pablo, there’s ladies selling food in front of the park. We had a big plate with fava beans, cheese, corn and potatoes for 10B.

50 bol now for a car. You have to wait till there are 2 cars to enter the boat.

Report Check-In

The price for the ferry is 35 bolivianos. Drive into the ferry with confidence as if you have done this many times. When they take you to the other side and you have unloaded your car give them the exact amount and drive away. If someone tells you to pay more tell them "Siempre pago treinta y cinco" and
wave goodbye!

Very unfriendly guy at the ferry. Tried to charge us 70 Bol for our Sprinter!! I gave him 40 and said that i know the correct price. He was annoying and it was hard work to negotiate. Flexible pricing as usual in bolivia :D

We paid 10Bol for two bicycles. He wanted 10 each but I refused. Looks like there's a passenger service too, which would be faster and would probably take bicycles, but we didn't check the price. It's 100m further north than the vehicle barges

Report Check-In

still 40 but they will try 50. I just said it's 40 and walked away.
make sure you have 40 on you to make that negotiation easier

It is the same price even for bigger vehicles such as RVs. The guy tried to overprice us and asked for 50 B but we said we usually pay 40 B so he agreed right away...

There is no bridge. Must cross in a boat. We paid 10 Bolivianos per motorbike (they wanted double but we haggled) one way. Rate for cars is still 40 Bolivianos.

Report Check-In

Very easy. Ride across on simple wooden ferries, dozens crossing simultaneously with 2 vehicles per boat. They tried to charge us 50 but the local with a car on the same boat paid only 35 so we paid 40 since our rig is bigger. Very easy, no waiting, took 30 minutes to be on the road driving again.
