Five tourists and two crew died Saturday when their plane crashed on a trip to view Peru’s famous Nazca lines, the transport ministry said.
The Cessna 207 single-engine plane belonging to the Aerosantos tourism company came down shortly after takeoff from the small airport of Maria Reiche in Nazca around noon, it said in a statement.
