We will have lunch at the base camp, pack our backpacks with all of our technical climbing equipment and personal items, and then hike for 2 hours to our high camp, located at 5170 meters. Upon arrival at our high camp we will have hot drinks, snacks and dinner and go to bed around 6:00 PM.
For all of our activities on this day, we will dress in traditional hiking clothing.
Day 2
Around 1:00 AM we will begin the ascent. We will have short breaks to rest and eat chocolates and drink water during the ascent.
We plan to arrive at the summit around sunrise in order to appreciate the wonderful view of the highlands, the surrounding Cordillera Real, Lake Titicaca, and the ever unique sunrise itself.
Our descent to high camp will take 2 - 3 hours and upon arrival we will have vegetable soup and hot drinks. At the high camp we will re-pack our backpacks and make the 1 hour descent to base camp.

Without him it would have been much harder to reach the top. Jiwaki is a good agency with good equipment and tasty food in the refugios. All of this for a very good price

My friend and I took the chance to try on Huayana Potosí with JIWAKI, and we can highly recommend it! Why? Our guide William simply did an allover great job, while taking constant care of safety, informing and motivating us when there was a need. He constantly prepared every next step, assessed our condition and, most important, set a continuous pace. The equipment was more than complete and modern, in short words: flawless! (for example: Petzl crampons and helmet, Scarpa alpine boots and rugged company customized clothes). We felt safe and well guided at any time, the food was tasty and William took gorgeous photos of us during the trip. Notice: We had perfect weather conditions, only few other roped parties on the way and are in good cardio fitness condition. The ascent from the altitude camp (5200m) to the summit takes around 5 to 6,5 hours, depending on the speed. It's exhausting, slightly technical, and you should adapt consequently to the altitude many days before the trip, to be in the best shape and lower the risk of altitude sickness. Advanced level of mental and physical fitness is necessary. All the organization matters were impeccable and at a high level of experience. Thank's JIWAKI for this awesome experience!These guys are new in the game but their equipment and service is impeccable.

These guys are new in the game but their equipment and service is impeccable. Franz the owner explained all the details to us in person and didn't leave anything out. Would recommend doing the 3 day climb as the first day on the ice wall sounds like a lot of fun. The guides on the climb were great (they don't speak much English though - none really do). They motivated us to get to the top and made sure we got enough rest stops. You are (as with any company) attached in pairs to a guide. The hike itself is tough but worth the effort to reach that 6088m summit. We were there in November and didn't get much of a view but those the day after did. Refuge and food were comfortable and copious. In summary, great service and would recommend.I had been advised to go with Jiwaki for the Huayna Potosi hike and I see why they came so highly recommended. From start to finish they were incredible.

I had been advised to go with Jiwaki for the Huayna Potosi hike and I see why they came so highly recommended. From start to finish they were incredible. They are very professional and safe. The guides are very skilled, patient and client safety is very important to them. The equipment is excellent, I suffer from the cold and was warm in all their gear. The food was incredible, so much food! I managed to make it to the summit thanks to the help of my guide William. He was so patient with the group. Thanks to Jiwaki and William for an unforgettable experience. I would definitely go with this group, even if you find a cheaper tour as the equipment is excellent. Jiwaki are very competitively and fairly priced also.
