About Puerto Ayora

Puerto Ayora 🌴🐢 is the main town on Santa Cruz Island in the Galápagos, offering a stunning mix of nature and island life. For digital nomads, it’s great for inspiration and downtime, but internet can be slower and more expensive than mainland Ecuador. Best for short stays, remote work with flexible schedules, and those who love adventure and wildlife. 🌊💻
