2024 Edition CubaConga

Welcome to the underground: CubaConga is a ‘secret’ and anonymous Cuba travel guide. Watch the video and understand why this guide is different and why we can only be so because of our undisclosed identity:

Yep, I know… Glad I write better than I talk 🙂

This site and its books have been created to help you make the best of your trip to Cuba. We are not politically correct nor are we Disneyficators…

We tell the truth as we see it.

Cuba is not just ‘our world 60 years ago’. Like every episode of Back to the Future explains, events in the past create a different present. Cuba is just a different timeline but not ‘our past’.

Cees:
‘CubaConga should be mandatory reading for everybody that wants to know the real Cuba!’

Karen:
‘I just finished reading CubaConga. It is by far the most useful book on Cuba I’ve ever come across. Almost any guidebook can provide the standard list of hotels, tourist hotspots, and eateries. None of them will give you this kind of in-depth, behind-the-scenes information that you will only figure out on your own after years of living among the locals, speaking the language, and making a whole lot of expensive and painful mistakes.
I recommend it to anyone who is going to Cuba and wants more than the standard tourist resort experience. It will save them 10 times the cover price and they will have a far richer cultural experience.’

Jane was so satisfied that she even made a video 🙂

Thanks, Jane we are grateful!

  4. “The Best Cuba Travel Guide on the Internet | valuable tips about traveling the real cuba”

    Nonetheless, many thanks for ur precious time, Laverne

  10. I ordered your ebook today and the payment has been processed through PayPal, but I have received nothing and have no download link. Please sort it out. I have checked JUNK.

  12. I ordered your ebook, and the payment has been processed through PayPal, but I have received nothing and have no download link. Please help. Not in my junk folder. Is this a scam, have I been ……..

  13. No you can’t :(. The pdf opens in Any e-reader or can be put on you smartphone. If you really want a hard copy you could download it and as soon as you get te Havana have it printed in the (yes THE) copy shop right in front of the Havana Libre. That is an interesting excusion in itself!!! Not easy to find but very interesting indeed!

    Or you can print it yourself of course!

  14. Everything works now… we had some trouble finding the bug and had to sent it manually for a while… now all automated again :-)… we’re having a mojito!

  15. It is not a travelguide like the Lonely Planet, it covers Cuban mentality. So in a way ‘yes’ because you will find Cuban mentality in those places. But if you are looking for a place to eat or sleep… no…

  16. Just bought Cuba Conga – it’s brilliant! Very informative and enlightening, and it’s very funny. Feel like I’ve got an insight into Cuba that you could only get from visiting there many times, or having a very long chat with a local.

    Couldn’t recommend this book more, it is definitely worth buying. It helps so much with loads of local info – really helpful to read the chapter on money and avoiding scams – plus it’s a really good and entertaining read.

    Highly recommend.
    Can’t wait for my trip now!

    Thanks!

  17. Just purchased your book, the link sent to my email seems to be corrupt and wont open in any of my devices. Please help, thank you!

  18. That was fast, thank you very much for mitigating the issue so quickly..looking forward to the read!

  19. I ordered your ebook, and the payment has been processed through PayPal, but I have received nothing and have no download link. Please help.

  20. So I’ve heard. . Staying at Villa Tortuga or something. Thursdays dinner is fish heads according to trip advisor lolol

  21. I bought this book several weeks ago as I am leading tours to Cuba on a regular basis and wanted inside information. Conga says: “nothing is as it seems in Cuba” That’s a very accurate statement! I have started playing the game and it is fascinating! Conga gets it right on all the levels! Although I am only between level 2 and 3, I am getting better every day. Cuba is delightful, warm, inviting, difficult and a hot mess all at once. You must go to Cuba and you must read this book before you go. Looking forward to Love and Sex. 😉

  22. Bought the book and found it super useful. I’m Cuban but have not been back in 48 years. Going in December and this book let me get hip to how to navigate my homelands with a 2016 perspective. Honest talk about how it really is. Great job

  23. I have been to Cuba one time before. I understood there was a game on the second day, buy the fourth day I started to play the game.
    After reading CubaConga, I really understand the game and I am now much better prepared for my next trip. You will save the cost of the book in the first half day of your visit.

  24. I just ordered your e book and I cannot open the link. It did not go to spam or trash either.

    Can you help me out please?

    Thanks

    Shannon

  25. Sorry…I found the link and tried to open it but it is zipped. How do I get into it? I have downloaded it already

  26. Read the book yesterday. My appetite whetted for a third visit ! Great advice and most helpful. Muchas gracias!

  27. I have purchased your travel guide but when I try to open the download link on my iPad it says that safari cannot download this file. Do you know how I can resolve this?
    I have downloaded an e book reader so I don’t think this is the problem.

    Thanks in advance,
