Desaguadero is a border region between Bolivia and Peru, on the shore of Lake Titicaca. Both tiny Bolivian and Peruvian towns bear the same name.

If you really have nothing else to kill time on, contemplating life gazing at Lake Titicaca is the way to go. Keeping your sight far away helps to ignore the trash near the shore, but the landscape is gorgeous. It can be windy and chilly there, even under the sun - bring a coat.
The area is not well signed. The border post is a long building, and the immigration post is reached through the side closer to the lake shore. Officers might occasionally ask for a copy of the entrance stamps - fear not, there's a photocopy service exactly across the street from the immigration room, copies for Bs. 0.50 each side.
The building entrance is close to a roundabout with a sculpture, and is clearly signed. Coming from Bolivia, it's on the righthand side.
On the Bolivian side, virtually all transport comes/goes from La Paz. El Alto region is a little over 1h away, and the Cementerio stop in downtown La Paz is 2 hr away. Shared vans (leave when full) charge Bs.
