Why producers choose Nicaragua and Mosaico
Nicaragua packs volcanoes, Pacific surf beaches, colonial cities (Granada, León), cloud forest, coffee highlands and Caribbean islands into a country you can cross in a day. For many boards, that range comes at costs well below Costa Rica, with nonstop flights from Miami (about three hours) and Houston.
Mosaico Audiovisual is a local production company founded in 2005 in Managua. We are not just a fixer desk: we are a creative production house that shoots commercials and cinematic content for recognized brands publicly listed on our site, including Toña, Flor de Caña, McDonald’s, BAC, Coca-Cola, Tigo and Visa.
If you searched for “production services Nicaragua”, here is the short version. Visiting productions get one bilingual partner for:

Production services Nicaragua: what we handle
Location scouting & management
Beaches, volcanoes, colonial streets, jungle, coffee highlands and urban Managua. Photo and video scout reports, location agreements and on-set location management.
Film permits & local coordination
We coordinate paperwork and local permissions so your schedule stays intact. Depending on the project, filming permits for foreign crews are handled through INTUR (the Nicaraguan Tourism Institute) and/or the Cinemateca Nacional, with separate permissions for national parks, protected areas and exclusive use of public spaces. Timelines depend on the project, so we flag requirements early in prep, not the week of the shoot.
Local casting
Access to our Managua talent pool through mosaico.com.ni/casting. On-camera talent for commercials and branded content, with self-tapes and callbacks managed for remote directors. Here is how we run casting for local talent in Nicaragua.
Bilingual crew
DoP, gaffer and lighting, sound, art, wardrobe, hair and makeup, PAs, drivers and coordinators, with clean English/Spanish communication for US, Mexican and European teams.
Equipment, transport & lodging
Camera, lighting, grip and sound packages as available locally; import planning when you bring your own gear; vehicles, hotels, catering and unit logistics.
Fixer services
One point of contact on the ground: problem-solving, translation, vendor coordination and contingency plans for weather, roads and ferries.

Edit, color and sound in Nicaragua when you want to wrap locally and deliver masters before you fly out.

FAQ
Are you a fixer or a full production company?
Both. We provide fixer and production support for visiting crews, and we produce as a local creative company for brands and agencies.
How far is Nicaragua from Miami?
About three hours by air to Managua (MGA), with nonstop flights from Miami and Houston.
Does your team speak English?
Yes, our core team is bilingual.
Can you help with customs for camera packages?
We help plan temporary import and airport clearance with your producer. Nicaragua is not listed as an ATA Carnet country in common industry guides, so your equipment list is cleared as part of the filming authorization. We flag this early in prep.
Can we fly drones?
Only with prior authorization. Under Law 1230, bringing in or flying a drone requires approval from Nicaragua’s Ministry of the Interior, granted only in special cases, and unauthorized drones are confiscated at customs. We confirm what is possible before you lock a drone-dependent board and plan alternatives if needed.
When is the best time to shoot?
The dry season (roughly December to April) is the safest bet for the Pacific side, but rainy-season shoots work well with the right schedule. See our seasonal guide linked above.
