cliff. |

Rabida Island
Rabida
Island (Jervis) is one of the most colorful and volcanically varied islands in the archipelago and
a great snorkeling site. Its famous maroon sandy beach and stunning lookouts provide wonderful

such as nine varieties of finches, Large-billed Flycatchers, Galapagos Hawks and Brown
Pelicans. |

Station
The Charles Darwin Research Station is
home to turtles ranging from 3-inches (new hatchlings) to 4-feet long. Sub-species of turtles

their heads for a pet. The babies are kept until they are about four years old and strong enough to
survive on their own. |
