World Class Guides
International Expeditions is the world leader in nature travel for one reason above all others — the superb, English-speaking naturalists and historians who accompany you. While our destinations are remarkable in their own right, they become even more so because of the talented guides who breathe life into the details and encourage you to discover. Not just ordinary “tour leaders,” our guides are consummate local experts with the uncanny ability to tell you about all the animals, plants, history and culture you encounter along the way. More than that, they are also warm people who want to see that you get the most from your expedition. Because of them, your International Expeditions journey will be interesting, enriching, memorable and great fun.
Below are just a few of our many guides and expedition leaders who enrich our expeditions. Find more about each destination’s guides on the expedition Web pages.

Jorge Salas
Jorge is a favorite among International Expeditions guests, having led expeditions to the Amazon, Orinoco, Patagonia and Papua New Guinea. Travel to South America with Jorge, who has been leading groups 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 aritcles on high-altitude cooking, writes restaurant reviews for the Lima, Peru media, and has even researched the Andean herbs used in pre-Inca cooking.

He continues to develop resource books for Chile’s most important natural areas. Claudio has been leading birdwatching and natural history journeys in Chile for years, and has become a favorite of IE guests on our many past Patagonia expeditions.
