When considering Peru for your next audiovisual project, one of the main advantages is the country’s connectivity. With modern airports, various transportation networks, and reliable Internet services, Peru ensures that filmmakers can focus on creativity, knowing that logistics and communications will run smoothly.
Domestic and international flights
Direct international flights: Jorge Chávez International Airport is the main flight hub in Peru, connecting directly with major cities in America, Europe, and Asia. This ensures easy access for the crew of each film production, as well as the artistic cast.
Regional airports: For productions looking to film outside of Lima, Peru has a well- established network of regional airports. Cities like Cusco, Iquitos, Arequipa, and Trujillo, among other destinations in the country, have airports that offer domestic flights and some international ones, making it easier to access remote and diverse filming locations without long road trips.
Land transport and road networks
Extensive road network: The roads of Peru connect the coastal, highland, and jungle regions, offering a variety of options for road transport. Whether filming in the deserts of Ica or in the Andes mountains, the roads make these destinations and diverse natural or historical settings accessible.
Bus and van rentals: For productions that need to transport equipment and personnel, there are dependable local companies that offer bus, van, and truck rentals. Many of these services come with drivers who know the terrain, ensuring a safe and efficient journey.
Rail connectivity: The service connects cities like Cusco, Puno, Huancayo, and Huancavelica, offering scenic routes to transport the cast and crew or even to serve as a unique filming location.
Technological infrastructure and connectivity
Internet and mobile networks: Peru has a suitable telecommunications infrastructure. Major cities and tourist areas have Internet connections and 4G and 5G coverage. Whether you need to coordinate logistics, manage remote team members, or communicate with studios abroad, staying connected is easy.
Access to Wi-Fi: Most hotels, production offices, and rental properties in Peru offer Wi-Fi, ensuring communication with production teams and stakeholders from around the world.
Filming equipment and supply logistics
Shipping equipment to Peru: Thanks to various air and sea transport services, it is possible to bring audiovisual equipment into the country. Additionally, since April 30, 2024, the ATA Carnet (merchandise passport) has been in effect for the temporary importation of audiovisual equipment.
Local equipment rentals: There are dependable equipment rental companies that offer everything from cameras and lighting to sound equipment and drones. This allows productions to minimize international shipping and obtain materials locally.
Proximity to major filming locations
Lima as a hub: Many production companies use Lima as their base due to its proximity to locations such as the desert landscapes of Ica (4 hours by car) or the jungles of Tarapoto (1.5 hours by flight). The city serves as a logistical center, facilitating access to various filming locations.
Travel between regions: Thanks to the variety of domestic flights in Peru and the transportation network, audiovisual industry agents can film in different ecosystems, from the Amazon rainforest to the Andes mountain range and along the Peruvian coast; all within a matter of hours.
The combination of air and land connectivity, along with digital and telecommunications infrastructure, makes Peru an ideal destination for film production.
