Drone Videography Services

Here is how this works in practice. Aerial cinematography in Peru runs inside a layered rules — DGAC (Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil) under Resolución Directoral N° 1086-2015 governs commercial RPAS pilot certification, while the INC and Ministerio de Cultura hold pre-approval authority over heritage-site overflight at Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley citadels, Caral, Chan Chan, Kuelap, and the Nazca Lines — where drone-only access has good replaced helicopter passes for most documentary and commercial work. The site itself prohibits drones except under specific INC permits. SERNANP controls airspace inside the Tambopata, Manú, and Paracas reserves.

Here is the short of it. Our pilot teams build that paperwork into the schedule rather than scramble for it the week of the shoot. All operations are flown by DGAC-recognised operators carrying today's commercial pilot certificates, valid liability insurance, and registration with CORPAC for controlled-airspace coordination around Jorge Chávez in Lima and regional aerodromes at Cusco, Arequipa, Trujillo, and Iquitos.

Here is the breakdown. Sites scale to the shot — DJI Inspire 3 and Mavic 3 Cine for tight urban work around Lima's Miraflores and Barranco cliffs and rapid establishers, Freefly Alta X for mid-weight rigs, and heavy-lift cinema sites carrying RED Komodo and V-Raptor, ARRI Alexa Mini, or Sony Venice 2 bodies for cinema-grade aerial coverage matching the ground unit frame-for-frame.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Briefs covering Colca Canyon condor passes, Nazca Lines geoglyph reveals, Cordillera Blanca ridge flyovers, Sacred Valley terrace pulls, Amazon canopy traverses out of Puerto Maldonado, Pacific coast Paracas peninsula coverage, or Lake Titicaca reed-island establishers receive a documented flight plan rather than a generic gear list. Multi-sites days combine aerial units with ground Steadicam, camera-car tracking on the Pan-American Highway, riverboat rigs on the Madre de Dios, or helicopter work with Aerolima and Heliperu under shared comms, weather contingency, and SUNAT ATA carnet records when foreign-owned gear is in country.
