A small tourist plane crashes in southern Peru during a sightseeing flight over the Nazca Lines, killing 13 people aboard, according to local authorities and police reports cited by multiple outlets. The aircraft is reported to be flying over the Nazca Lines archaeological site—famous geoglyphs etched into the desert and recognized by UNESCO—when it crashes into a field. Reports say the plane departed from nearby cities in the region and was operated as a passenger sightseeing service for visitors to view the lines from the air. One report states the victims include 11 passengers and two crew members/pilots, with police major Jorge Andrade giving that breakdown from the crash site. The crash occurs shortly after takeoff around the early afternoon, with Al Jazeera and other outlets describing the incident timing as shortly after 1pm local time. The Nazca Lines are commonly viewed from aircraft or from viewing towers due to the scale and design of the animal and figure patterns, which can be fully appreciated from above. Authorities are investigating the crash and details of the flight route and circumstances.
