An incredible adventure in Peru.

Caboblanco is a drama-adventure film about a man fleeing justice in the United States who finds refuge in the coastal town of Cabo Blanco, Peru. There, he meets a French woman searching for her lost lover, and together they become entangled in a suspenseful mystery tied to the hunt for hidden Nazi treasure.

Filming in Caboblanco and the Piura region was a perfect choice, with its crystal-clear waters, warm weather, and vibrant coastal atmosphere ideal for fishing and surfing. These elements enriched the film’s narrative, adding authenticity and visual appeal. The best time to shoot in this area is from May to November, when the dry season brings pleasant temperatures and avoids the heavy rains typical from December to April.
