Autumn Mocha Island - Chile 4k

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE : Check out this amazing drone video of a small island off the coast of Chile, compliments of contributor nuclearcl. It's called Mocha Island, and it's situated a short distance off the coast of the Arauco Province around the midsection of the country. Covering less than 50 square km (a little under 20 square mi.) and covered with small mountains, the island is considered important to adherents of the Maupache Religion, the faith of many of the indigenous peoples of this part of South America.

Mocha is a small Chilean island located west of the coast of Arauco Province in the Pacific Ocean. The island is approximately 48 km2 (19 sq mi) in area, with a small chain of mountains running roughly in north-south direction. In Mapuche mythology, the souls of dead people travel west to visit this island. The island today is home to the Mocha Island National Reserve, a nature reserve that covers approximately 45% of the island's surface. The island is noted as the location of numerous historic shipwrecks. The waters off the island are a popular place for recreational sea fishing.
