## Description

Cuba has no WiFi. This guide doesn't need it.

Every paladar, beach, museum, ATM, hospital, tourist police station, and 24h pharmacy in this app is pinned to a fully offline map. Pull it out anywhere — Habana Vieja, Viñales, the road to Trinidad, a casa particular with no signal — and it works.

— WHAT'S INSIDE —

- 185+ places, each one written about honestly. If a paladar is a tourist trap, the app says so. If the mojito at La Bodeguita is overpriced and you'd do better three blocks away, the app says so.

- Offline maps for the whole island, plus 21 city centers at street-level detail (Habana, Trinidad, Santiago, Viñales, Varadero, Cienfuegos, Camagüey, and more).

- 380+ ETECSA office locations and 40+ emergency points: international tourist clinics, hospitals, tourist police, Cadeca exchanges, 24h pharmacies.

- Currency calculator with the informal-market rate — the rate Cubans actually use, not the fictional Cadeca rate that's 4× worse. $100 USD ≈ 53,000 CUP at the street, 12,000 at the bank.

- 100+ phrases in Spanish with English, Français, Русский, Deutsch, and Italiano translations, plus tap-to-hear audio.

- Cubanismos soundboard — distinctly Cuban slang you won't hear in any other guide: ¿Qué bolá? · Asere · ¡Dale! · ¡Qué bárbaro! · Coger botella · La jaba · ¡Chao, pescao!

- SOS section with offline emergency phrases ("Estoy perdido. ¿Puede mostrarme dónde estamos?") and step-by-step instructions for power cuts, lost passports, medical emergencies, ATM failures, getting scammed, and getting lost.

- GPS locate-me — no servers, no accounts, no tracking.

- Photo gallery sourced from Wikimedia Commons, with credits.

— BUILT BY A CUBAN —

Most travel apps for Cuba are scraped, machine-translated, or written by someone who spent two weeks in Habana and called it research. This one isn't. I'm Pablo. I grew up there. Every editorial description was written for this app, with the bias of someone who's actually been to the place — and where I disagree with conventional travel-blog wisdom, I say so.

— SIX LANGUAGES —

English · Español · Français · Русский · Deutsch · Italiano. Every place description is original prose, not machine-translated. Section headers, phrases, and the entire UI translate properly across all six.

— NO ACCOUNT. NO ADS. NO TRACKING. —

You don't sign in. The app doesn't talk to any server I run. Your location stays on your phone. There are no in-app purchases. There is no advertising. The privacy policy is short for a reason: there's almost nothing to disclose.

— WHO IT'S FOR —

- First-time Cuba travelers who don't want to get scammed or stranded.
- Returning travelers who already know the basics and want honest picks.
- Spanish-speakers, Russian-speakers, French / German / Italian travelers who default to apps that don't bother translating.
- Anyone who's heard "no es fácil" and understood why it matters.

— SOURCES SHOW. OPINIONS ARE MINE. —

If something is wrong or out of date, there's a one-tap "Help us improve" button inside the Tips tab. Opens your email app with diagnostics pre-filled. I read every one.

¿Qué bolá, asere? Dale.
