Isla Cachagua, Natural monument on Pacific coast in Zapallar, Chile
The small granite island rises 30 meters above sea level and stands 100 meters from the mainland at Cachagua Beach.
The Chilean government established Isla Cachagua as a natural monument on June 27, 1989, to protect its marine ecosystem and wildlife populations.
Local fishing communities utilize the surrounding waters while maintaining a respectful distance from the protected island's penguin colonies.
Visitors can observe the island's wildlife through boat tours departing from Caleta Zapallar, subject to weather conditions.
The island hosts up to 2000 Humboldt penguins, representing ten percent of the global population of this species.
