Guides
Jorge Salas
Amazon Cruise Expedition Leader
Expedition Leader Jorge is a favorite among International Expeditions guests, having led expeditions to the Amazon, Orinoco, Antarctica, Trinidad, West Africa, Patagonia and Papua New Guinea. Jorge has been an Amazon travel guide for more than 19 years, and brings with him a contagious enthusiasm.
In addition to his interest in natural history, Jorge is an avid photographer, with one of the most complete wildlife (he's photographed more than 1,200 species!) and travel stock portfolios of South America. Jorge is a true "foodie" who has published stories on high-altitude cooking, writes restaurant reviews for the Lima, Peru media, and has even researched the Andean herbs used in pre-Inca cooking.
Renzo Zeppilli
Amazon Cruise Expedition Leader
A passionate birder since his early years, Renzo has trained guides all over Peru in advanced birding techniques. He is one of the five members of the Birds of Peru registry committee, having added himself new species to the list. Renzo has earned degrees in hotel and tourism management, with a masters degree in environmental education. His passion for wildlife and attention to details make him an excellent traveling companion.
Dennis Osario
Amazon Cruise Expedition Leader
An avid birder, Dennis Osorio holds a master degree in hotel and tourism management with a concentration in Sustainable Tourism. After completing guide training in South Africa, his passion for travel and wildlife led him back home to Peru to seek a position in the Amazon, and in IE he found the perfect match to his commitment to conservation and the environment. Dennis is a guarantee of success to any expedition in the Amazon.
Angel Cardenas
Amazon Cruise Expedition Leader
Cusco native Angel Cardenas has spent the past 11 years leading small-group expeditions in Peru after earning his degree in tourism. Although Angel is adept at spotting birdlife, his true passion is for teaching IE guests about Peru’s extraordinary culture and history. Adding to his depth of natural history knowledge is a true dedication to guests, which is why Angel is earning rave reviews!
