Rabida Island is also known as Jervis. It lies 5 kilometers south of Santiago. Do to a high percentage of oxidized iron in the composition of the lava, the island has a reddish pigmentation.

This is one of the best places to see pelicans nesting while sea lions haul out. Near the beach, there is a salt-water lagoon where flamingos and pintail ducks can be seen. There is a trail that will take you up to a volcanic peek covered with palo santo trees, from where the red color of the beach and volcanic formations can be appreciated.
