Islote 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 (Spheniscus humboldti) 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. The island was declared a protected Nature Sanctuary in 1978.[1] At that time, the island was estimated to support 800 penguins.[3]

Between 2016 and 2020, the breeding population of Humboldt penguins was estimated at 25-473 individuals, resident Peruvian pelicans (Pelecanus thagus) at 30–1,000 individuals, and non-breeding Guanay cormorants (Leucocarbo bougainvilliorum) at 10-500 individuals.[4]

The reserve is administered by Algarrobo municipality.[5]
