Land area: 5 sq km
Highest peak: 367 m

The landing site is a dark red coral beach which is occupied by sea lions. You can swim and snorkel with them and especially the pups are very curious. The saltbushes nearby are used by the brown pelican for nesting, if it is season.
The trail leads to a salt water lagoon where you can occasionally encounter flamingos and white-cheeked pintails. It is also home to a sea lion bachelor colony that are waiting for their turn to take over the colony. Continuing farer into the island you come to the arid zone of the island where palo santo trees grow. Rabida offers the most diversified volcanic rocks of all the archipelago.
It is also a great snorkeling spot where you can encounter a huge variety of bright tropic fish.
