- Jiwaki - 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!

The best experience! - I 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! - I 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 🫶🏻

Incredible experience and awesome guide named Iván made this challenging summit so worth it! - The highlight of my Bolivia trip, especially thanks to my awesome guide Iván. Was quite challenging but so worth it! Definitely recommend doing the 3 day tour over the 2 day, the extra day of learning basic mountaineering skills was helpful and gave me the confidence to make it to the top

HUAYNA POTOSI & ACOTANGO BEST EXPERIENCE EVER - The best trip to Huayna Potosí and Acontango...best people, best gear, facilites...defenitely the best company!!!
The owner personally review every detail make everything work perfect.
In Huayna Potosí they have their own facilities in base camp and the high camp, both are in excellent conditions, and we receive delicius hot meals, snacks , teas.
In Acotango I took a individual trip with my own guide, he pick-up me in the hotel snd we travel directly yo Sajama National Park, we expend the night kn a very confortable hotel, snd next day we climb the Acontango 6,053 mts. Incredible Mountain
I strongly recommend Jiwaki as the best option!

It was amazing! - We made the peak Austria and the huayna potosí with them. The guides are always animated and super competent! We like it! The meals offered were simple, but very good (in Huayna Potosi I never ate so much kkkk). The camps were also quite good, we went in low season, so it was practically empty!

Okay - Really cool trip. However, its organisation/running was a bit dubious. They had no record of me having booked initially and there was no communication until I turned up in person in the office. No clear timings or detail. Kit issue was a bit chaotic. Guides were hit-and-miss: some friendly and helpful, others grumpy and rude. No clarity on medical assistance or rescue if things went wrong, other than "this is Bolivia, we don't have helicopters to rescue you." It seemed safe enough and guides were quite rigid about turning people back who wouldn't make the summit in time, but I didn't see any first aid kits or oxygen or anything. No drop off at hotels on return.
Positives: food was decent, first night accommodation was good, good value for money for a 6000m+ climbing trip.
