Ecuador's colonial cities, such as Quito and Cuenca (both UNESCO World Heritage Sites), along with its vibrant indigenous traditions, provide authentic and visually stunning backdrops for any production.
From the Andes Mountains and the Amazon Rainforest to the Pacific Coast and the iconic Galapagos Islands, Ecuador offers an incredible variety of landscapes within a relatively small area. This allows productions to shoot multiple scenes without the need for extensive travel.
Ecuador's film industry is rapidly developing, with local crews, equipment rentals, and post-production facilities available to support international projects.
Ecuador offers attractive incentives for international productions, including tax exemptions, streamlined permits, and logistical support through institutions like the Ecuador Film Commission.
Ecuadorians are known for their hospitality and willingness to collaborate, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable filming experience.
