What you need to know
Before you shoot
Peru looks its best from the air. But flying a drone commercially has clear rules, and some places need extra permits.
- Drones are regulated by the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC), part of the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
- Drones must be registered, and commercial operations need authorization.
- Flying near airports and over crowds is prohibited.
- Machu Picchu and other historic sites need an additional permit for that site.
- Foreign operators should check the requirements before traveling.
Rules change. We confirm the current requirements for every project.
- RPAS pilot licensed by the MTC, No. 11714
- DJI Mavic 3 Pro: up to 5.1K, plus 4K at 120 fps
- We plan flights within Peruvian rules
- We handle permits for each location
- Aerial and ground footage from a single crew
FAQ
Questions
Can we bring our own drone?
It's possible, but the process for foreign operators takes time. It is often simpler to use our drone and operator.
Can you fly at Machu Picchu?
Only with a site-specific permit. We help you assess whether it is feasible for your project.
