INTERNATIONAL EXPEDITIONS:  AMAZON RIVER CRUISE —  

For over 35 years, IE has been leading Amazon River cruises and offering wildlife tours to the Peruvian rainforest’s most pristine areas.  This tour goes deep into the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve (home to 450 bird species, 102 species of mammals, over 130 species of reptiles and amphibians), and explores three different habitats allowing the best chance of spotting rare wildlife, including monkeys, birds, sloths, pink river dolphins, gray dolphins and more.  Daily excursions include pre-dawn birding, school visits in local villages and even piranha fishing!  IE not only pioneered travel to this region, they still work with many of the naturalist guides they helped train. Ensuring a worry-free and educational journey, these expert local naturalist guides — along with an expedition leader — accompany each cruise, serving as lecturers and field guides as you explore the rainforest.  IE’s new custom-designed Amazon riverboat, La Estrella Amazonica reflects 33 years of expertise in Amazon travel, allowing access to the deepest reaches of the Peruvian Amazon without sacrificing comfort.
