Site Surveys & Tech Scouting

Comprehensive technical assessment and surveying of filming locations in Peru.

Scroll

Site surveys assess potential filming locations for technical and logistical viability. Across Peru, survey teams evaluate Cusco's Inca ruins, Lima's colonial center, and the Sacred Valley's dramatic Andean landscapes for lighting conditions, sound environment, power availability, access routes, and safety considerations, providing production departments with the information needed to plan efficient shoots.

We conduct thorough site surveys across Peru that give your production team detailed assessments of each potential location. Our team navigates extreme altitude at Cusco and Machu Picchu, remote Andean location access, and tropical Amazon basin logistics, documenting technical specifications and logistical considerations in comprehensive reports with photographs and measurements that inform your planning and scheduling decisions.

Tech scouting across coast, Andean altitude, and Amazon basin terrain

Here is how this works in practice. Site surveys in Peru carry an unusually wide brief because a single feature can move from sea-level Lima through Cusco's 3,400-metre historic centre, the Sacred Valley, the Colca Canyon, and the Tambopata or Manú reaches of the Amazon within a few production weeks. Our scouts work directly with INC heritage permits at Machu Picchu, Chan Chan, Kuelap, the the city historic centre, and the Nazca Lines, and with SERNANP authorisations for protected reserves around Madre de Dios and Lake Titicaca.

Here is the short of it. Surveys document lighting curves against the dry-season May-to-October window, ambient sound across colonial cathedrals and Andean wind plateaus, terrestrial 4G coverage on Movistar and Claro networks, and the power realities of remote Sierra hamlets that often run on generators or limited single-phase supply.

Here is the breakdown. Each report is built around photography geotagged to UTM sets up, drone overflight where DGAC airspace rules allow, sun-path diagrams, and ground-truth video walkthroughs delivered within forty-eight hours of the scout. Safety annexes cover altitude acclimatisation protocols for Cusco and Puno, Amazon humidity and tropical disease prevention, river-access timing on the Madre de Dios and Ucayali, evacuation routes to the nearest hospital network — Clínica Anglo Americana in Lima or the EsSalud regional hospitals in the city and Iquitos — and SCTR workplace insurance triggers.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. We close every survey with an actionable recommendation block covering crew sizing, vehicle types ranging from 4x4 Hilux fleets to Amazon riverboats, and the SUNAT customs lead times for ATA carnet gear moving through Jorge Chávez and Velasco Astete airports.
