SCENE 01 / SITE SURVEYS
Site Surveys & Tech Scouting
Comprehensive technical assessment and surveying of filming locations in Peru.
Site surveys check whether a filming location can handle a shoot, both on the tech side and the logistics side. Across Peru, our teams review Cusco's Inca ruins, Lima's colonial center, and the Sacred Valley's dramatic Andean landscapes. We note the lighting, sound, power supply, access routes, and safety risks. That gives production teams the facts they need to plan a smooth shoot.
Our thorough site surveys across Peru give your production team a detailed read on each location. We handle the extreme altitude at Cusco and Machu Picchu, hard-to-reach Andean sites, and the logistics of the tropical Amazon basin. Each survey logs tech specs and logistics in full reports, backed by photographs and measurements that guide your planning and scheduling.

On Location
Tech scouting across coast, Andean altitude, and Amazon basin terrain
Site surveys in Peru carry a very wide brief. 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, all within a few production weeks. Our scouts work directly with INC heritage permits at Machu Picchu, Chan Chan, Kuelap, the city historic centre, and the Nazca Lines. They also handle SERNANP approvals for the protected reserves around Madre de Dios and Lake Titicaca.
Each survey tracks the lighting through the dry-season window from May to October. It logs ambient sound across colonial cathedrals and windswept Andean plateaus. We check 4G coverage on the Movistar and Claro networks, and the power reality of remote Sierra hamlets, which often run on battery packs or a tight single-phase supply.
Each report is built around photography geotagged to UTM coordinates, drone overflights where DGAC airspace rules allow, sun-path diagrams, and ground-truth video walkthroughs. We deliver all of it within forty-eight hours of the scout. Safety annexes cover getting used to the altitude at Cusco and Puno, Amazon humidity and tropical-disease prevention, and river-access timing on the Madre de Dios and Ucayali. They also map escape routes to the nearest hospitals, such as Clínica Anglo Americana in Lima or the EsSalud regional hospitals in the city and Iquitos. Finally, they flag when SCTR workplace insurance kicks in.
Each survey ends with a clear action plan. It covers crew sizing and the right vehicles, from 4x4 Hilux fleets to Amazon riverboats. The plan also flags the SUNAT customs lead times for ATA carnet gear moving through Jorge Chávez and Velasco Astete airports.
