They are top seen from the air. Made by the Nazca culture, the geoglyphs comprise animal shapes and geometric patterns.
The plane took off about 4 p.m., the Andina news agency reported.
Firefighters and police are at present working to recover the bodies from the plane, which went down because of mechanical failures in the motor, it said, citing Alfredo Coronel, the area police chief.
