Isla Pájaros Niños is an inshore island near Algarrobo, Chile some 6.17 hectares in size.[1] It is home to a colony of 250-500 Humboldt penguins and Magellanic penguins which can be viewed from a nearby hilltop using binoculars. Access to the island is restricted to members of the adjacent yacht club.[2] The breakwater which connects the island to the mainland was constructed in 1977 and 1978. At that time, the island was estimated to support 800 penguins.[3] The island was declared a Protected Area in 1978.[1]
