Aircraft crashes into field after departing from the nearby city of Ica, according to local authorities
At least 13 people have died after a plane carrying tourists crashed into a field in Peru, local authorities said.
Nazca’s municipal government said the plane was taking tourists on a sightseeing flight of the Nazca Lines, a group of extensive geoglyphs scraped into the desert around Nazca hundreds of years ago by Peru’s Indigenous inhabitants. The lines form images of animals that can only be fully appreciated from planes or viewing towers.
