This dataset comprises of the 3D reality models of settlements in the informal communities of Barrios Altos, El Agustino and José Carlos Mariátegui in Lima, Peru. The 3D reality models have been created using the photogrammetry results from a drone survey which used 4K resolution cameras at a height of up to 100 m from the settlements. The models are in 3MX file format and are accompanied by the Scene data which allow for visualisation using the freely available ContextCapture Viewer sofware by Bentley Systems, now known as iTwin Capture Viewer (which can be downloaded using the following link: https://www.bentley.com/software/itwin-capture-modeler/).
