Jandia Peninsula
The southern tip of Fuerteventura features massive white sand beaches and contrasting turquoise Atlantic waters.
Fuerteventura Peaks
The arid, rolling mountains of central Fuerteventura provide a stark, beautiful desert aesthetic from above.
Corralejo Sand Dunes
A stunning view of the vast Natural Park of Corralejo, where massive Saharan-style dunes meet the sea.
Isla de Lobos
A perfect bird's-eye view of the small, volcanic islet located just off the northern coast of Fuerteventura.
Arrecife Coastline
The descent provides a panoramic view of the golden beaches of Puerto del Carmen and the urban layout of Arrecife.
The right side is superior for this short 45-minute hop. You will be tracking parallel to Fuerteventura for most of the flight. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the island's textures and colors perfectly.

Las Palmas City
Aerial view of the capital of Gran Canaria, its harbor, and the Las Canteras beach area shortly after departure.
La Bocayna Strait
The narrow stretch of water separating Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, often dotted with ferries and sailboats.
Timanfaya Volcanic Edges
As the plane turns for approach, the dark, martian-like volcanic soil of western Lanzarote becomes visible.
Puerto Calero
Clear views of the luxury marina and the rugged southern cliffs of Lanzarote during the final descent.
Sit on the left if you want a better view of the departure from Gran Canaria and the rugged volcanic approach into Lanzarote. Late afternoon flights provide dramatic lighting over the Timanfaya craters on this side.
