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.
There were no survivors among the seven on board, which a diplomatic source told AFP included two Chilean tourists, AFP reported.
Dozens of planes operate from the Maria Reiche airfield, flying tourists -- mainly foreigners -- over the Nazca lines, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
They are believed to have had ritual astronomical function or to have served as a calendar. Most are only visible from the sky.
In October 2010, four British tourists and two Peruvian crew members were killed when an AirNasca aircraft crashed over the lines.
A large number of firefighters and police teams were dispatched to the scene of crash.
An investigation regarding cause of the crash has been started.
