The movie was filmed in Panama (the "Haiti" portion).

Question: Locations are obviously a primary character in Bond movies.

What were the most difficult locations for you to film in?

Forster (Swiss Director): You know, as you said, I think these locations are characters themselves.

And I thought it was important for me to shoot on location.

And because they usually do a lot in the studio, in the Bond movies, in the last few ones. And I thought, "No, we have to go back like in the old days. We have to shoot on location.

It will feel stronger, and will have much more of a visual impact." So we shot that Haiti part in Colon, Panama.

Question: Oh, really?

So you never filmed in Haiti.

That's very unusual.

Did you try to film in Port Au Prince?

Forster: No, we didn't, because the thing is that - you know, I had to, like, summarize a couple of the locations.

And some of it from Bolivia was all shot in Panama and Northern Chile.

But we found a place called Colon, which is in the Caribbean side of Panama.

And it's - literally looks like Haiti.

They had - the population looks like it. And we have actually had Haitian extras who are living there.

Who - you know, who speak Creole.

So we were able to find all that in Colon.
