If you find yourself asking yourself where the Netflix mini-series was shot then the answer takes us to northern Argentina, Jujuy Province. With all the mountains, desert areas, plateaus and valleys, Jujuy was perhaps one of the most perfect settings for this thriller story that keeps you hooked to your screen all throughout the 3-episode run.

Let's take a closer look at how these filming spots shaped the world of Maledictions.


Where is Maledictions filmed? Shooting location of the Netflix mini-series revisited

Jujuy Province

When Netflix picked Jujuy as the main filming location, it wasn't just about the visuals and the scenery. The northern province has an unfiltered landscape that mirrors the show's political plot. You could picture wide and open valleys, winding roads, and skies that stretch endlessly, and that's Jujuy for you. Its character gives Maledictions the kind of atmosphere that it deserves.

The province is located on the northwestern side of Argentina, against the Andes. It's a place known for its beauty but also for its conditions. The crew filmed here in 2024, often during cold mornings and unpredictable weather.

The series revolves around mining laws and political power struggles, which are issues that resonate deeply in this part of the country. Shooting on location helped ground the fictional drama in a setting tied to those very themes.


Puna Jujeña

One of the standout filming zones for Maledictions is the Puna Jujeña. If you've never heard of it, imagine a vast Andean plateau stretching more than 11,000 feet above sea level. It's dramatic but also brutally honest in the way it strips everything down to bare rock, salt flats, and volcanic peaks. That environment slips perfectly into the show's mood.

For the cast and crew, filming here was no easy task. Days often started at dawn, with freezing winds moving all across the set. Actress Francesca Varela even shared that early shoots meant long hours in sub-zero conditions. However, the results speak for themselves.

The Puna doesn't just look striking but it becomes almost a character in itself. Its isolation mirrors the characters' emotional battles, while its harsh beauty makes the political and personal stakes feel even heavier. By making use of this plateau, the show added meaning to its story without a single line of dialogue.


Quebrada de Humahuaca

Beyond the plateau, the crew also moved into the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a valley that's nothing short of iconic to Argentina. Known for its rainbow hills and old villages, this location gave the show a sense of depth along with its natural charm.

That being said, it is also an important fun fact that the Quebrada isn't just visually beautiful but it's also a UNESCO World Heritage site, filled with history.

Shooting in the midst of active communities also meant working closely with locals, which is how the team was able to play around with the fictional world along with real life in Jujuy.


Maledictions may only be a Netflix mini-series with three episodes, but picking Jujuy Province as its filming location is a way to make sure that the show leaves a lasting impression on all who watch the series back at home.

From Puna Jujeña to Quebrada de Humahuaca, every frame carries the soul of northern Argentina.

These locations don't just add on to the story but rather they shape the story in their own way, which only makes Maledictions more than just a thriller; it becomes a journey into a land that is as dramatic as the tale itself.
