From high-altitude islands to endless desert dunes, Peru isn’t just a destination, it’s a film set waiting to happen.
This is a curated selection of the most fascinating locations we’ve produced in over the years, chosen not just for how they look, but for the stories you can tell.
TAQUILE ISLAND, PUNO
Taquile is, without a doubt, one of the most magical locations we’ve ever filmed in. There’s something about it that’s almost hard to explain. It’s mesmerizing, breathtaking… and incredibly still.
From the moment you arrive, sailing across Lake Titicaca, you feel it. The pace shifts. The noise disappears. As you walk up toward the village, locals welcome you with muña leaves (a gesture that helps you breathe, adjust, and take it all in).
Time moves differently here. And without even noticing, you start moving with it.
We’ve filmed commercials in Taquile that needed more than just a beautiful backdrop. Something human, something real. And that’s what this place gives you. It holds the story in a very quiet, powerful way.
It’s one of those places we always want to come back to.
What can you shoot here?
A brand film that wants to feel honest and grounded. A documentary that follows people, tradition, identity. Even a music video that slows everything down, where performance becomes presence, not spectacle.
SACRED VALLEY, CUSCO
Filming in Cusco is a privilege. There’s history in every corner, not just something you see, but something you feel.
And then there’s the Sacred Valley.
For us, it’s one of the most special places to produce in Peru. The scale, the energy, the variety of landscapes… you can move just a short distance and find a completely different world.
We’ve seen stories unfold here in a very natural way. A character arrives searching for something, and little by little, something shifts. The mountains don’t just sit in the background, they hold that journey.
It’s the kind of place where transformation feels believable. Where a brand story can feel elevated without trying too hard.
What can you shoot here?
A lifestyle or luxury commercial with a strong sense of place. A narrative film about personal transformation. A travel piece that follows a real journey. Even a music video that blends performance with landscape in a more emotional, expansive way.
PARACAS, ICA
Paracas always surprises us.
There’s a moment, every time, when the desert opens up and suddenly meets the ocean. It feels like you’ve landed somewhere else entirely.
That contrast is what makes it so powerful.
We’ve filmed everything here: fashion films, music videos, branded content, reality formats. The dunes, the textures, the light, and especially the wind… it brings movement into every frame.
It’s also incredibly accessible from Lima, which makes it very production-friendly without losing impact.
Paracas gives you scale. It gives you freedom. It lets you build worlds.
What can you shoot here?
A high-end fashion film with strong art direction. A music video with bold, graphic visuals. A commercial that needs something striking and different. Or a narrative piece set in a surreal or otherworldly environment.
IQUITOS, LORETO
Iquitos is one of the most immersive locations you can film in, and that’s exactly what makes it so special.
The Amazon is alive in every sense. The sound, the colors, the density… everything surrounds you. From a production standpoint, it’s absolutely manageable with the right team and planning, and that’s where we come in.
We know how to navigate it, how to adapt to it, and how to make it work for the story without losing control of the production.
And creatively, it gives you something very hard to replicate. Projects take on a different intensity here. Performances feel more visceral. The environment becomes part of the narrative.
It’s raw and incredibly cinematic.
What can you shoot here?
A documentary deeply connected to nature or community. A narrative film with tension or psychological depth. A branded piece that wants to feel immersive and real. Even a music video that leans into atmosphere, texture, and emotion.
CANTA, LIMA
Just a few hours from Lima, everything changes.
Canta is one of those places we keep coming back to, and every time, it gives us something new. There’s something quietly powerful about it. Something cinematic in a very raw, honest way.
The town itself feels like it’s waiting for a story. You can almost see a different time unfolding there, a period piece, something suspended between past and present.
And as you keep driving up, the landscape opens into mountains, lagoons and lots of llamas and vicuñas.
We’ve filmed commercials and branded content here, and it’s always breathtaking. It’s accessible, versatile, and visually strong.
But more than anything, it feels like an escape.
What can you shoot here?
A road movie that starts in the city and slowly drifts away. A commercial that needs nature without going too far and highs ways surrounded by mountains.
At GoPeru Films, we understand the project you’re building and help you find the right place in Peru where it truly comes to life.
We don’t just find locations. We find the story.
