Filming took place in two emblematic Peruvian locations: the historic city of Lima and the imperial city of Cusco. In the Peruvian capital, filming took place in the Historic Centre, the Plaza Mayor (Main Square) and the Miraflores Boardwalk.

While in Cusco, scenes were filmed in the Historic Sanctuary of Machupicchu , in the town of Machupicchu and on the Waynapicchu mountain.
