Crucial Constructs, an online information resource and training academy for aspiring digital entrepreneurs, has just added the Galapagos Islands to its “How To Be a Digital Nomad” series.
If this is the year you hit the road as a digital nomad, why not make things extra interesting by including a visit to the Galapagos Islands?
Imagine being where Darwin was when he discovered several species of finches, which led to the development of his Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. Now that’s a bucket list destination!
But the thing about the Galapagos is that you’ve got to do it right. You can’t just land there and expect to know where to go or what to do. You’re going to need some direction on this one.
A guide published by the digital business experts Crucial Constructs titled “How to be a Digital Nomad in Galapagos Islands, Ecuador,” gives you a comprehensive, boots-on-the-ground look at the three major islands that make up the archipelago from the point of view of travelers who went there to work digitally, made the mistakes that you won’t have to, and also made some incredible discoveries you get to benefit from.

If you’re on your way to becoming a digital nomad, and the Galapagos Islands strike your fancy, it will give you all the insights you’ll ever need regarding the region’s internet access, lodgings, your visa requirements, and more.
Administratively, Galapagos is a province of Ecuador made up of three subdivisions named after its most populated islands: San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, and Isabela.
Of these three major islands, you can only really stay and work productively on two of them: San Cristobal and Santa Cruz.
Despite being the second-largest island of the collection, Isabela offers you little in the way of internet connections and a dearth of internet cafes, which, Crucial Constructs says can be frustrating.
The trick with the island of Isabela is context. This isn’t the place to go to work, this is a rich and pristine island replete with ecosystems and beaches, and laid-back bars. This is the vacation part of your remote work peregrination vacation.
San Cristobal is the most populated island but somehow also one of the calmest. You’ll find sensible web speeds; however, be warned this island is also prone to power blackouts.
Santa Cruz is the busiest of the islands and offers you the most impressive e-infrastructure (coffee shops with Wi-Fi and web connections, things like that.)
The one thing you really need to be aware of when you’re planning your stay in Santa Cruz and San Cristobal is that the best accommodations only be found through word of mouth. You’ve got to chat with the locals to get the low down.
There’s a range of large, well-appointed, comfortable private rentals across the area with internet access, fully equipped kitchens, many bedrooms and bathrooms, and all necessary accoutrements at budget-friendly rates that you just can’t find by conducting an online search.
Overall, says the team at Crucial Constructs, the cost of living in the Galapagos is very low, making it a truly unique, fascinating, and enriching experience if you’re willing to adjust the way you’re used to working.
If you’re planning on spending a substantial amount of time there, look into your visa requirements. Generally, they’ll be divided into two categories: Professional if you have a university degree and rentista if you’re sans formal degree but you’re still there to work and travel.
With this latest addition to their digital nomad series, online business experts Crucial Constructs give you a comprehensive, must-read guide to the realities of working remotely in this area of the world.
