<P> Aguirre was the first of five collaborations between Herzog and the volatile Kinski . The director and the actor had differing views as to how the role should be played , and they clashed throughout filming ; Kinski 's tantrums terrorized both the crew and the local natives who were assisting the production . Shooting was entirely on location , and was fraught with difficulties . Filming took place in the Peruvian rainforest on the Amazon River during an arduous five - week period , shooting on tributaries of the Ucayali region . The cast and crew climbed mountains , cut through heavy vines to open routes to the various jungle locations , and rode treacherous river rapids on rafts built by natives . </P>
