(CNN) — Seven people, mostly tourists, were killed Thursday when a small plane crashed in southern Peru, near the famous Nazca Lines, the official Andina news agency reported, citing Nazca police.
The morning accident happened during a flyover of the mysterious geoglyphs in the sand that are one of Peru’s largest tourist attractions. The drawings, some of which are miles long, can best be appreciated from the sky.
Three Chilean tourists, three Peruvian tourists, including a child, and the pilot were killed, Andina reported.
The plane belonged to Nazca Airlines, which had not made a statement as of Thursday afternoon.
