Amazon Cruise VoyageJorge SalasExpedition 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 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. A huge fan of hiking, Jorge has led 33 journeys on the Inca Trail and 22 circuits of Torres del Paine in Chile, among many other adventure expeditions. Jorge's research and photography has been published in history books, and he has worked extensively with the Smithsonian, World Wildlife Fund and National Wildlife Federation. Hernando VallenasFor the past 11 years, after studying tourism, Lima native Hernando Vallenas has lead tours to Arequipa, Puno, Cusco and the rainforest. And if you’re wondering why there’s never a problem he can’t solve, the answer is easy: Hernando spent two years fielding traveler complaints at the Lima airport! When Hernando is not sharing his native Peru with IE guests, Hernando has led over 150 Amazon River cruises aboard La Amatista, you’ll find him running, playing soccer or spending time with his two children. George DavilaGeorge Davila first began working in the Amazon jungle as a 13-year-old trail cutter for groups of visitors. He learned English by listening to tourists and practicing with them as he cut a path for their exploration. As he studied natural history, George was assigned to work with scientific tours. George also joined a Peruvian tour operator as a barman and waiter while completing coursework in guiding and science.
