border crossing Puerto Heath Puerto Maldonado

Hello. I am currently in Bolivia and in about one month I´ll leave the country for Peru. As I want to go all the way up north (to Pando) I was thinking about crossing the border by boat. I heard there are boats from Puerto Heath in Bolivia to Puerto Maldonado in Peru, but I don´t have a clue about how much time this takes, about the price I should pay (more or less) and if boats leave frequently. Has anyone done this bordercrossing? Is it easy or a pain in the ass? Thanks for your answer.

Sad i did see this late. Anyway, Puerto Heath is just a military border post.
No boats sailing out from here, though they may help you to get a passage in one.
Best should be from Riberalta paying a fare straight to Puerto Maldonado. Or , as I did,
buy your own boat and do the trip in some 3 weeks or so. Plenty of things to do!
