Boca de Yuma is a town of La Altagracia province in the eastern region of Dominican Republic.

[citation needed] The first families that settled the village of Boca de Yuma came from various regions of the Spanish colonial Captaincy General of Santo Domingo on Hispaniola.

On the coastline are the remains of a cannon that is believed to be the same as the one that Archbishop Fernando Navarrete asked for from the King of Spain, in order to defend and protect the Shrine of Our Lady of La Altagracia in Higüey.

One of the great pirates of those times, who defended the poor, was a man named Roberto Cofresi Ramirez de Arellano, born in the coastal town of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.

Juan Ponce de León had his ship anchored in the Port of Higüey, and departed from here in 1508, for the conquest of Borinquen, Puerto Rico.
