Hi! I'm a 34 year old Tour Guide, born on October 10, 1988 in the city of Santiago, Dominican Republic. I live in a mountainous town with magnificent vegetation, the municipality of Imbert, Puerto Plata. I speak English and Spanish, and I'm an outgoing, respectful, responsible and fun person. The person who motivated me to dedicate myself to being a guide was Rafael Morales, my uncle, who was a guide before, and an important pillar in my life because he helped me become a professional guide. This allowed me to be interested and fall in love with the beautiful history and rich culture of my country. Today I have the ability to meet different people at both an International and National level, which makes me feel proud to develop my knowledge about guiding in my country. Through my experiences, travelers will have the opportunity to live an exciting and informative adventure.

In recent years, this river has become one of the most visited in the country. There is no comparison to what you can experience with a day of hiking through the beautiful tropical forest surrounded by different fruit trees and tubers with their natural slides. Its name Damajagua is due to the 27 waterfalls of different sizes that make up its refreshing crystalline waters and also due to an eponymous tree that grows around the river. Besides this beautiful watery experience, we will enjoy Chocolala, a place where you'll get to learn the step by step the process of turning the cocoa grain into a creamy and delicious chocolate flavor. Of course, you'll get to taste the most famous chocolate in the Dominican Republic, but besides that, you'll also taste some fruits from a beautiful fruit station. Do not miss the experience of tasting the tropical flavors that this beautiful destination offers!
Francisco is a tremendous tour guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, knew the falls area very well, and was very organized. The chocolate factory was very unique and delicious while the impromptu stop for road side fruit was tremendous. If you want to book a guide in the DR, book Francisco without hesitation, easily a 10/10.
Francisco is an excellent tour guide. You can tell that he is passionate and knowledgeable. He kept my 3 teenage boys intrigued the entire tour. I would definitely recommend
Amazing tour. Guid is very friendly. He knew so many locals, too, which made the trip better. He was able to guide us around lines, get us what we needed, and give advice to make the trip the best. Also, got the Cholocate Factory ladies to come in on a holiday just for us.
Francisco was amazing! Very knowledgeable, patient and professional! We were 3 adults and a 9 year old and went on the Damajagua Water Falls on January 1st, We had a blast! Since it was a holiday the Chocolate Factory we were supposed to visit was closed but Francisco found another local place for us to see Chocolate and coffee making. We also visited a local cheese making place that was perfect to taste delicious local homemade cheese! Snacks and drinks provided gave us everything needed for a perfect day. If you are on a cruise ship or staying nearby we would highly recommend booking with Francisco to make your visit special and care free! Can’t wait to visit again!
