ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
Turistas spins a dizzying tale of escalating terror that overcomes a group of American tourists whose sense of ease and security are perhaps too great when they set out to have an adventure in exotic Brazil.

THE JOURNEY TO BRAZIL
Turistas is the first American production shot entirely in the country of Brazil. The production took residence in Brazil for five months -including preproduction-, and filmed at locations including the lush jungles and pristine beaches of Ubatuba and the otherworldly underground water-filled caves near Lencois, which had never before been used as a production location.
