Mini bio

How it started.

José’s travels began with a map and a wish to find unfamiliar mountains and waterfalls. He shared those outings online, and people began passing his posts along. Banreservas dates his destination-focused social media work to 2015.

An early calling card.

His 2016 video La vuelta a República Dominicana en 90 días compressed a journey around his country into a minute. A January 2017 Viajard profile singled it out as one of his best-known videos and described how he had used his savings to explore remote places while working at a supermarket.

Where he takes fans.

Ecotourism remains central to AquamanRD: rivers, mountains and the communities around them. He also organizes excursions. His YouTube guides cover visa applications for Dominican travelers, including Schengen and Canadian visas, while newer videos range from Dominican restaurants to a waterfall on the Vietnam-China border.

Recognition.

In 2023, the Premio Nacional de Turismo named José its influencer of the year for showcasing destinations.
