Introduction to Film Production in Peru
Professional fixer services provide essential local knowledge and operational support that bridges the gap between international productions and local environments, ensuring smooth logistics, regulatory compliance, and cultural navigation throughout the filming process. As a company, we offer full production services, including comprehensive management of logistics, crew, and equipment.
Our experienced fixers bring deep understanding of local customs, government procedures, business practices, and logistical networks that enable foreign productions to operate efficiently while maintaining positive relationships with local communities, authorities, and service providers. They assist with creating and managing local production budgets and schedules, negotiating with local suppliers to secure competitive rates.
Peru delivers proven film production capabilities that combine established cinematic infrastructure with operational efficiency. The country provides diverse location assets—from major urban centers to rural territories and coastal regions—that serve the specific requirements of TV series, commercial productions, and feature films.

Why Us
Fixer Services

Local Network
Skilled fixers work across Lima, Cusco, Arequipa, and Iquitos. They hold direct contacts at the PromPerú Film Commission, MinCultura, and regional film offices, so permits move quickly.
02.
Location Knowledge
Deep knowledge covers filming locations from Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley to Lima's colonial centre, Arequipa's white volcanic stonework, Lake Titicaca, and the Amazon rainforest.
03.
Permit Expertise
Proven experience handles MinCultura archaeological site permits, including the tightly restricted Machu Picchu. The same team manages DGAC drone permits, Amazon conservation-area approvals, and PromPerú production-support programmes.
04.
Language & Cultural Navigation
Native Spanish-speaking fixers, many of whom also speak Quechua, lead Indigenous community consultations and altitude safety briefings. They also handle Peru's regional cultural differences, from the coastal desert to the highland Andes.

On Location
Peruvian fixers for Andean, Amazon, and Pacific units
Peruvian fixing is a specialty craft because the country makes every global shoot work three ecosystems in one schedule. These are the Pacific coast, the high Andes, and the Amazon basin, each with permits from separate authorities on different lead times. Our fixers have built careers on that tangle.
Our fixers serve the Discovery Channel and National Geographic natural-history units that move into Manu, Tambopata, Paracas, and Pacaya-Samiria. They cover the BBC and History Channel documentary teams working Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Chan Chan, Caral, and Kuelap. The roster also includes the Netflix LATAM and Disney+ LATAM originals that route through Lima production hubs at Tondero, Big Bang, Cinesphere, Inca Producciones, and Audiovisual Project Perú. The same crews take on commercial and edit shoots that move between the capital's colonial centre, the white sillar build of Arequipa, and the Lake Titicaca peninsula.
INC heritage liaison sits at the centre of the work, covering Machu Picchu, the Cusco DDC office, Chan Chan, Caral, and Kuelap. Alongside it, SERNANP clears the protected natural areas and DGAC handles drone authorisation. Both then route back to MINCETUR and PromPerú on the production-support side.
On the ground, the fixer brings the language bridge and the relationships that turn a tough Peruvian schedule into a workable one. Our fixers work in Spanish, English, Quechua, and Aymara. That is what lets Andean village shoots and indigenous community consultations actually work. The prior-consultation duty under Ley 29785 is taken seriously. Our fixers also carry the community trust that decides whether a return visit to the same place is welcome the next year.
Our fixers handle city permits across Lima districts and the Cusco regional film office. They file INC archaeological permits, which carry 4-to-12-week lead times, SERNANP covered-area approvals for Manú and Tambopata, and DGAC drone authorisation that runs about 30 days. The team also processes Migraciones Trabajador Temporal visas for global crews, ANACTP actors' agreements, SUNAFIL labour compliance, SCTR workplace insurance, EsSalud healthcare sign-ups, Ley 29783 occupational-safety files, and AFP/ONP payroll. Finally, they invoice IGV at 18% in soles back to the production accountant for the DAFO Ley 26370 tax-credit certification file on every shooting day.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What permits are needed for filming in Peru?
City permits are needed in each district. MinCultura issues permits for archaeological sites, and Machu Picchu has strict daily limits that need booking months ahead. Amazon filming needs SERNANP approval for protected areas. Indigenous community areas need prior consultation. Our fixers arrange every permit layer across your locations.
How do you handle Machu Picchu filming permits?
Machu Picchu filming permits are tightly restricted, with daily caps on crew size, gear, and shooting hours. MinCultura runs the application through its Cusco regional office. Applications must go in well ahead of time. Our fixers know this process well and advise on a realistic schedule for one of the world's most regulated filming sites.
Do your fixers manage altitude considerations?
Yes. Cusco sits at 3,400m, and many Andean locations top 4,000m. Our fixers build in time to adjust to the altitude, line up extra oxygen, arrange local medical cover, and advise on handling gear up high. We also manage moving crew and gear between sea level and high ground.
What does a typical fixer provide on a Peruvian production?
Our Peruvian fixers arrange city and MinCultura filming permits and set up Amazon river transport and jungle-camp logistics. They source local crew and gear, manage altitude safety, and handle community consultations. The team also processes Trabajador Temporal visas through Migraciones and provides Spanish-language on-set liaison everywhere you shoot.
