Rainfall is one of the main variables that mobilizes hydrological cycle. In Peru, the network of meteorological stations which is monitored by SENAMHI has low density or, in some cases, does not exist. Nevertheless, due to technological advances there is available satellite precipitation products which have acceptable spatial coverage and are accessible in real time. This information could be used in the simulation of flows at the basin level, therefore it is neccessary to carry out an assessment of the accuracy to this kind of information. Consequently, this research has as main purpose to evaluate the performance of three satellite precipitation products called TRMM-3B42RT, CMORPH and PERSIANN with and without bias correction in the streamflow simulation of Rímac River basin. In order to correct the bias of the series of precipitation, it has been used two methods well-known as Factor Error and Quantile Mapping. It also has been used HYMOD model for carrying out the simulation of rainfall-runoff process. The DREAM algorithm has been used for calibrating the hydrological model, in which was taken into consideration 10 parallel sequences and 1000 simulations or samples in the process of obtaining the magnitude of the parameters. The results show that the satellite precipitation products underestimate the observed series of rain. The simulated flows using satellite precipitation products suggest that these are not useful in their way are available. It has been found that using the applied methods has been possible to improve the performance of precipitation products in hydrologic modelling. Specifically, it have been possible to obtain better results using the Quantile Mapping method applied to the TRMM-3B42RT and PERSIANN products
