I visited the galapagos on vacation (no work) and it was wonderful. Do not expect to work out there, really there is no usable wifi. I was able to do 14 days on about 1500USD as a single traveler staying in guesthouses, taking a few tours and doing alot of self guided stuff. Highly suggest just going out there without a group package as you'll save some money and have a better experience.
