The bodies of 27 workers who died in a fire at a gold mine in southern Peru have all been recovered, according to authorities.
The blaze, sparked by a short circuit, was the country's deadliest mining accident in more than two decades.
It engulfed one of the tunnels at the remote La Esperanza 1 mine in the southern Arequipa region.
