Yolanda Tours

A sarcastic nickname for the illegal human smuggling operations that take migrants from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico in small wooden boats called yolas. It is also jokingly referred to as traveling via AA, which stands for agua alante y agua atrás, or water in front and water behind, a pun on the airline American Airlines. (A yola is a flimsy, often overcrowded boat used for the dangerous crossing of the Mona Passage).

The most successful travel agency in the East of the country is Yolanda Tours.
