  I would like to find a rainforest or tropical forest in Mainly Latin America or Caribbean. Is there a particular rainforest that doesn’t have the large snakes and poisonous animals? I visited the El Yunque rainforest in Puerto Rico, which is pretty safe. I also understand that Hawaii’s rainforest (although not in Latin America and Caribbean) is safer as well. This location is for a film.

  The Commonwealth of Dominica sounds like exactly what you are looking for. Beautifully rich, virgin rainforests..stunning vistas and best of all there aren’t any poisonous animals on the island. Scenes from Pirates of the Caribbean were also shot here and more recently a few episodics with the Discovery Channel. Lets talk.

  P.S
  The Commonwealth of Dominica should not to be mistaken for the Dominican Republic. They are two totally different islands.
  Thanks

  Hi Merri,
  Have a look at Harry Hook’s “The Lord of The Flies” which we shot in Portland Jamaica with some great Tropical Rain Forest and rivers and waterfalls and mountains (and wild beaches). Of course with a cast of children the rain forest had to be extremely safe and we had no problems over 12 weeks of shooting. As a musician, you might be interested to know that there is also a world class recording studio there too.

  Costa Rica has some great national parks that include relatively safe Tropical Rain Forest also.

  you can reach me directly on matthew@epicfilmsglobal.com

  Dear Merri,

  We are an international production services company, recently located at Ecuador.
  We are a many years experienced argentinian team that we came here, because we found this country at the “best location place for filming” because has many variety of locations on little kilometres, location point (middle of the world) , and excellent prices and equipment.
  We insure professionalism with our background expertise. Even we know all the safest places for filming in Amazonas (we filmed a documentary recently for 2 month living inside amazonas, so we have a big expertise on logistics and safety).

  Here you have some pics of Amazonas and here a link with some timelapses of our work, https://vimeo.com/141293949
