Meet Zacarias, the Heart of Your Adventure

Zacarias Tours was born from a lifelong love for Puerto Plata. Our founder, Zacarias Mercado Vasquez, was born in this beautiful land. He grew up with its music, its beaches and its warm people. He knew he had to share its magic with the world.

This is not just a business. It is a personal invitation. Zacarias believes a tour is not only about seeing places. It is about feeling the soul of a place. That is why he created Zacarias Tours: to offer real, safe and unforgettable days off the usual tourist trail.
