Top 5 Filming Locations in Mexico
Mexico City
Mexico City is one of the most densely populated cities in the country. Founded by the Aztecs in 1325, the city (known as Teotihuacán) remained a stronghold until the arrival of Spanish conquistadors, transforming the town into a thriving new capital in the New World. Today, Mexico features a stunning array of fantastic architecture, culture, and age-old traditions that continue thriving in the modern era, giving you a glimpse into pre-Hispanic and colonial history in one place. Blockbusters shot in Mexico City include Saw X (2023), Alita: Battle Angel (2019), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2018), and Netflix series, Sense8 (2018).
Los Cabos
Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez, Los Cabos should be on your film scouting radar. Los Cabos boasts incredible destinations and views, notably the famed Arch of Cabo Sans Lucas and Cabo Pulmo beaches and a vast desert. Los Cabos isn’t only recognized for its gorgeous scenery but the location stands as a gastronomic and bustling nightlife hotspot.
Sierra Madre Occidental
An underutilized filming destination, the Copper Canyon is located in the Sierra Madre Occidental, a mountain range with sharp, jagged peaks stretching from western Mexico to the Gulf of California. Untouched beauty and its untamed landscape make this area an ideal location for shooting explosive action epics and documentaries.
Guadalajara
Growing in popularity, Guadalajara features a wealth of historic buildings boasting neoclassical architecture throughout the city. Its historic center features colonial plazas and landmarks including Rotonda de los Jaliscienses Ilustres, Guadalajara Cathedral, Plaza Guadalajara, Plaza de la Liberación, all within walking distance.
Yucatán Peninsula
The Yucatán Peninsula is rife with historic archaeological sites classified as UNESCO Heritage Sites. In addition to sites, the Yucatán Peninsula features cenotes, a natural sinkhole used by the Aztecs for ceremonial purposes that now attracts people to swim through its caved systems. Forested jungles, hidden pathways, and mysterious temples remain solid draw points for the crew to take advantage of the Yucatán Peninsula’s untamed beauty.
