According to AFP on August 1 (local time), a small tourist aircraft flying over the Nasca archaeological area in Peru crashed for unknown reasons on the same day.


Local police authorities stated that the aircraft was carrying a total of 13 people, including 11 passengers and two pilots, and reported that all occupants were killed at the scene due to the impact of the crash.


The Nasca archaeological site, where the accident took place, is famous for its massive geoglyphs created by ancient indigenous communities around 2,000 years ago. With various shapes, such as hummingbirds, monkeys, and whales, depicted on the ground, the site has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site and attracts a large number of tourists from all over the world each year.



In particular, because the drawings range from tens to hundreds of meters in size and can only be fully appreciated from the air, small aircraft sightseeing tours have been actively operated in the area.
