Pico Autria & Huayna Potosi! - We had a fantastic experience with Jiwaki. In preparation for the Huayna Potosi we did the Pico Austria. This was a good exercise and we also had fine guides accompanying us with the altitude. We also did the Huayna Potosi with Jiwaki. This was well arranged. The material is in order and dietary requirements are well taken into account. We slept in the brand new highcamp and they even brought a cake there for my birthday. On the day we went to the top Iván was our guide. A super nice guide who took good care of us. It made sure it was safe for us, that we ate and drank on time and that we stayed warm. We have not felt unsafe for a moment in challenging circumstances! All in all a top experience with Jiwaki. Iván was great, but so were the other guides! Definitely recommended!

Experience of a lifetime - Incredible experience doing our first 6000m+ mountain with Jiwaki. This is a huge physical challenge but so rewarding with stunning views of the mountain and a feeling at the summit like no other. We chose the 3 day tour as this includes the day ice climbing and getting familiar with the mountaineering equipment and would highly recommend this for beginners. We were also very impressed with Jiwaki throughout including accommodation, food, equipment and their approach to safety on the mountain (we had 2 guides between 3 people). Special shout out to our mountain guide Iván who was fantastic throughout and there is not way we would have made it without his encouragement and pacing us up the mountain.

Not nice guide - I had a really great time with my group and the hike was amazing, however the guides really let it down! For some of them it was like they didn’t want to be there and hated if you asked questions and didn’t want to help you. Especially the lead guide who should have been the one keeping moral up! The other guides were much nicer! The whole group felt that the lead guide was unapproachable, also every time we stopped on the hike he straight away went to watching videos on his phone and didn’t talk to us, I had to actually say his name multiple times for him to notice we were asking him something, I would choose another company if I was to do this again because of the lead guide.
