I have an iphone 13 pro max, and when trying to configure the ap at 80Mhz channel width it doesn't work, could you tell me which would be the best configuration or up to what maximum channel width does it work?

Your image is not shown for some reason.
Are you using default configuration ? Did you try to test with other device ?

country=peru
frecuency=auto
When I set it to 80 Mhz, no device can see it, but if I put another mikrotik router to scan it can see it

1- don't use auto frequency. You do not know what the router will select (check status tab, it will show what is being used).
2- Having said that, it could be a frequency is chosen which your phone does not support. But would be highly unlikely since iPhone 13 Pro Max should be wifi6 (ax) compatible.
3- try with a low frequency in 5GHz range, see if the phone can detect it then. If a high frequency was used with radar detection, it can take up to 10 minutes before you "see" it.
4- Also check your security settings. E.g. quite a bit of devices don't like gcmp encryption (but I'm guessing from your screenshot you have a legacy wifi device so that would not apply ? As in, not AX-range ?).

in 20Mhz if it sees it and connects, but when I change to 40Mhz it no longer sees it

I just realized that when I set it to 20 Mhz it connects fast, and when I set it to 40Mhz it takes time to connect but it does connect after 1min, but if I set it to 80Mhz it takes time too but it never reaches 80Mhz. I thought it didn't connect because being used to the 2.4Ghz band connecting immediately I thought it didn't connect.

Can you post config part of wireless ?
Terminal
Interface wireless
Export file=anynameyouwish.
Remove serial number and post between code quotes for readability.

now it works

Isn't the problem that "officialy" 80MHz channels are planned for freguencies:
noDFS
5180-5240 = ch42 = ch38+ch46 = ch36+ch40+ch44+ch48
5745-5805 = ch155 = ch151+ch159 = ch149+ch153+ch157+ch161
DFS
5260-5320 = ch58 = ....
5500-5580 = ch106 = ...
5660-5720 = ch138 = ...
and you set the starting freq to 5200MHz so your phone refused to see 80MHz channel overlaping ch42 & ch58 as it wants to stay only to the "official" band coverage?
Answering to myself:
According to this
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/w ... uction.pdf
The only supported channels in Peru are 56-60-64-100-104-108 112-116-132-136-140-149-153-157 161-165 so you have to use only channel to ch106 or 155 which means setting freq to 5500 or 5745 instead of 5200 to obey Peru's rules.

Be advised it is your responsibility to set country settings in correspondence to your location.
There are countries where heavy fines can be applied when they detect you use wrong settings.
Just saying ...
