Congratulations on the video and on the achievement of climbing to the top of Huayna Potosi, I intend to climb it in February next year if everything goes well.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Thank you! You can do it! A challenge but very gratifying!

[@robertomendoza7193]

Por un momento creí que veía una película. Los cambios de emociones, los escenarios, el inicio y la llegada a la cumbre parecía toda una travesía. Felicitaciones guys.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Wow thanks Roberto 🫶 that means so much tonus

[@ride4life32]

I really miss my home land. Love the country of Bolivia. Can't wait to go back home in a couple years

[@danpinder3931]

Well done you two, it truly looks amazing, what an emotional experience and memory you have made, me and the wife are doing it in 2025 super excited to be there.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Thank you 🙏 so pumped for you two! Our only advice is that it’s 90% mental! If we can do it anyone can 💪

[@salvadorelias160]

Sooo brave you two. Congrats on achieving such a goal. Amazing.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Thank you so much!

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Hello Mr Rainy Days! 🤩Thank you so much. It really was a nasty hard challenge. I'm glad we could sort of capture it on video. Thank you for your ever-lasting love and support 🙏🏻

[@summitwithsophie]

Wow! That looked like a real challenge, but what an amazing sunrise! I've only done a couple of 4000m peaks, would love to try this someday but not sure I'm ready just yet 😁

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Hey Sophie, thank you for checking out the video. I see that you just summited Toubkal and that's an achievement of its own so well done 🤩

[@danielnovy7835]

Wow! 😍

[@MaxandJacqueline]

EPIC adventure! Thanks for tuning in 🫶

[@alonzomo]

Super cool! Peru might possibly be my next international trip, we shall see. Stay safe guys😁

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Gracias Alonzo 🙏🏻 Thanks for checking out the video

[@fredm8621]

Congratulations that's amazing.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@nathanthomaslynch]

How much hiking experience did you guys have prior to this? I’m thinking about doing it next week, and I have plenty of hiking experience on lower mountains, but no experience with crampons etc

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Hey Nathan, we had quite a bit of experience prior to this but I'll be honest the altitude is just a whole other level, it makes this climb very hard. We did it but we struggled. You will need a lot more mental strength than physical. Let us know how it goes. Best of luck

[@nathanthomaslynch]

@@MaxandJacqueline yeah it’s no joke, I’ve been around peru for a month now and been up some 5200m hikes, definitely going to give it a shot

[@Stephonthemap]

I’m planning on doing this when I go Bolivia in September. What company did you use? I was thinking to do it with Jiwaki

[@MaxandJacqueline]

You’re going to love it! We went with All Transport Tours. Jiwaki seems to be a very popular choice so if you want a big group to go with. Personally we loved that we had a guide just for us, meant we were the 3rd to make it to the top and by the time the bigger groups showed up the sun had risen and we were leaving so it was less crowded at the top. It’s very small on the summit 😅

[@DOUGALLTAYLOR]

Song? 2:23 Sounds like Malian music

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Hey Doug, its an artist called Ebo Krdum the song is called "Train To The West" 🤩 a real banger of a track

[@MegaKatthe]

Was your guide Santos?

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Yes it was 🧡

[@MegaKatthe]

@@MaxandJacqueline He was my guide too. He is great

[@MaxandJacqueline]

He's a fun guy and we really needed his encouragement to reach the top!

[@shreyasr1989]

4700 mts is not 39000 ft

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Thanks for letting us know 🤙

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Thank you

[@nicholasbuzzell]

your conversion to feet needs some work. Your first conversion in the video of 4,700 meters meant you were 10,000 feet higher than Everest.

[@MaxandJacqueline]

Oops 😅 we will work on that! Miles always confuses us too 😆

[@DeniseFahrion]

Congratulations! 🎉 Such an incredible experience! 💪🏼 🏔️ Check that one off of the bucket list ✅

[@MaxandJacqueline]

It sure was. Thank you so much for the love and time 🙏😍
