What To Expect
Huayna Potosi is Bolivia’s most popular major peak in the Cordillera Real. Located at just 32 km from the city of La Paz, Huayna Potosi is known for its ease of access and imposing beauty as well as the fact that it is 88 meters over the magic 6000 meter figure. Huayna Potosi can be climbed by beginners with a competent guide and technical equipment. Beginners yes, but fit beginners; it’s quite steep toward the end and it’s a tough climb, but well worth the effort!

Fabulous experience but guides are overworked

4.00The trek itself was an absolutely incredible experience! We were fully equipped with all the extra warm outer layers we needed, solid sturdy boots, good crampons and ice axes. The food was simple but perfect for what we needed to hike. We were well informed on what the following days would look like and the guides were all lovely. My only comment would be towards the higher up admin. The guides were so clearly overworked! Some having been on the mountain for 10 days straight. This may be by choice for some but I know it wasn’t for other guides who were told the day he was supposed to return to his family he had to stay for another trek. This is unfair but also unsafe. The nature of the trip means very little sleep for everyone and the guides doing this repeatedly in a row puts the clients at risk as well. This is a moral thing to consider when booking through this highly popular company who have no restrictions on client numbers, at the cost of the guides.
Celestino, thank you so much! And wow!!!! 🏔️

5.00I can’t put into words how amazing this experience was… we did the 3 day tour and throughout the trip we had amazing food every day, lovely people that we met and so many moments we will remember for the rest of our lives. The training day was so fun, the rest day and trek to the next camp was necessary (I wouldn’t recommend the 2 day because of the altitude) then summit day… just wow. Our guide was Celestino and he was amazing, he encouraged us every step of the way, made our summit day as flexible as possible even leaving early so we could make it in time, and looked after us every step of the way. He even look more photos for us and sent it to us the next day, he’s a legend and we couldn’t be more grateful for him. Overall, this company looked after us so well and encouraged us so much that I don’t think we could’ve done it without them! In other words, book the trip!! 🙌💪😊
Ascent of Potosi

5.00The ascent of Potosí was an incredible experience. The guides were very friendly and supported us perfectly throughout the three days. We especially recommend José, who was always in a good mood and knew how to motivate us to reach the summit. He also took photos of us regularly, and it was a real pleasure to discover them after the climb. The equipment provided was of good quality and the meals were good. We highly recommend Jiwaki (and the guide José!)
Professional Agency for Huayna Potosi with focus on your safety

5.00The organisation with Jiwaki ran smoothly, from organizing via Whatsapp until the day of the start. The equipment is in good condition, and especially the hardware (axes, …) from renowned brands. Our guide Ivan is very competent and accompanied us through the whole trip perfectly. The camps are in good shape, obviously dont offer any luxury, but we felt comfortable and were very happy with the food, which was delicious. Unfortunately, we couldn‘t try the summit due to bad weather, but especially in situations like this you see the professionalism from agencies. The way how single people like Ivan handled the situation was great, he always was honest, explained the situation and made us aware of risks and chances. We couldn‘t think of a better agency in this regards and can highly recommend the company for everyone, who seeks for safety as first priority.
👍👍🙌

5.00I had the best time while doing the Huayna Potosi tour! During my hike to the summit my guide was José and he was amazing! He was so patient and encouraging. He kept checking if we were okay and really helped us with every problem. He kept us really motivated and I felt very safe. I couldn’t have made it without him. Also the walk was really cool and the views were beautiful!
José is the best!

5.00I recommend this company so much! Me and my friend did the huayna potosi 3 day climb and it was amazing. Our guide was José and he was the best. When we were really struggling he encouraged us so much saying we can do it! Without his encouragement, kindness and determination for us I’m not we would have reached the summit! He also took loads of pictures of us all the way up! He was great! Ellie and Grace 🫶🏻
