Fuerteventura: The Wild Pearl of Canaries

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Fior a first upload to AirVuz, new contributor julesshf brings us this excellent drone video from the Spanish island of Fuerteventura.  Fuerteventura is the third-largest of the Canary Islands (fourth-largest by population) and the closest island in the archipelago to the mainland of Africa - it's only about 60 mi. (around 100 km) from the coast of Morocco at its closest point.  Filmed with a DJI Mini 2 drone, the video will take you over this ecological treasure, the entirety of which was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2009.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

Seductive, Heavenly, and Idyllic. These are the 3 words that inspired me the most during this trip. Fuerteventura, Canary Islands offers a variety of breathtaking landscapes that I capture with my DJI mini 2! Here are the stories about how I got these shots and the different places in this video !! :) South of the Island ⬇ : * Let's start with El Faro de Punta Pesebre at 0:20 & 1:12 this is the first lighthouse in the video accessible by car by a truly exceptional dirt track which also allows you to go to * The BEACH of Cofete, 0:50 With its golden sand dunes, deep blue ocean, and mountains similar to Hawaii ^^ Cofete beach is the wildest as it is only accessible through a dirt track but also the best preserved as nothing has been altered by human hands ❤️🔥 * Moro Jable 1:03 is the biggest town in the south and provides access to the dirt track to Cofete Beach and El Faro de Punta Pesebre. I would also recommend visiting this town and going to the port to see dolphins. * On the road to Morro Jable (FV-2) Sotavento 0:13 is another must-see beach with miles of sand - perfect for kitesurfers and windsurfers. Middle of the Island ⬇ : * Betancuria, the former capital of the island, is a cute village where you can discover the history and culture of the island. * Ajuy 0:26 is a fascinating place on the island. It is a small traditional fishing village situated on a cliff edge with amazing rock formations, black sand beaches, and caves to explore. INCREDIBLE * Caleta de Fuste 1:32 is located a few kilometers from the airport and is the ideal place to stay during your stay. There is also a natural swimming pool which is very well known on social media, a really beautiful place (at low tide so that the water is crystal clear) 28.401545, -13.848432 North of the Island ⬇ : * I would like to introduce you to the best-preserved volcano Calderon-Hondo 0:01 , offering a panoramic view of the island's landscape, it's like being on Mars and the place is very easy to access. * Corralejo 0:36 , ideal for enjoying beautiful GOLDEN sand dunes and panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. * The historical lighthouse of Faro del Toston 0:32 & 0:58 is also a place not to be missed, it is a surfing paradise, and the road to get there is a beautiful white sandy track in Corralejo. I captured all these places with my Dji mini 2 drone and this week will be unforgettable. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to explore such places! Thanks for your attention: Jules
