Nazca Lines – Location of Plane Crash

Peru’s Ministry of Transport and Communications announced officials were investigating the cause of the Air Nasca plane crash that occurred at about 4:15 p.m local time (10:15 p.m. British time) Saturday in the desert near Nazca, about 275 miles (443 km) south of Lima. Six people, including four British tourists, were killed when their sightseeing plane crashed near Peru’s famed Nazca Lines.

Several planes that have flown over the Nazca Lines, a series of massive geoglyphs carved in the desert, have crashed in recent years. Six tourists and a pilot were killed in February when their plane crashed on a similar sightseeing tour.
