This third installment of the 'Paddington' movie is an exciting adventure through the Peruvian Amazon rainforest and mountainous peaks, the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Export and Tourism (PromPeru) has highlighted.

PromPeru, through Film In Peru, provided assistance for filming in Lima and Cusco region.

After 6 years, Paddington is back, this time in Peru. The new installment of the world's most famous bear tells the story of his return to his homeland to visit Aunt Lucy, who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears.

Along with the Brown family, he embarks on an exciting adventure through the Amazon rainforest and on the mountain peaks of Peru.

'Paddington in Peru' is a production by StudioCanal UK. It is directed by Dougal Wilson and based on the English children's story "A Bear Called Paddington" by writer Michael Bond. The first two films were a success, grossing nearly US$500 million.

Director Dougal Wilson said that in the first and second 'Paddington' films audiences learn about where he is from and how he came to his home in London.

However, there is still much to discover about what happened before these events. Therefore, in the third film, the main character and his friends return to Peru to find the missing pieces to complete his story.

Starring renowned actors Olivia Colman and Antonio Banderas, 'Paddington in Peru' is set to be an unmissable adventure for families.

It will be released in UK cinemas on November 8 and in the United States on January 17, 2025.

Film In Peru, PromPeru's strategy service to promote the South American country as a location, provided assistance for filming locations in Lima and Cusco.

This work included institutional coordination with public and private entities for obtaining filming and drone usage permits.

Additionally, support and guidance were given in processing 26 visas for the film crew who worked in Peru.

In recent years, Film In Peru has supported international audiovisual productions such as 'Dora and the Lost City of Gold,' 'Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,' 'Street Food: Latin America,' 'Down to Earth with Zac Efron,' 'La Reina del Sur,' among others.
