After years of legal and political wrangling, Yale Univeristy has finally returned hundreds of Inca artefacts, nearly a century after they were taken from Machu Picchu.
The first shipment was given a lavish welcome at Lima's presidential palace.
Eventually some 45,000 archaeological pieces will be returned.
"They are treasures, even though they are not made of gold or precious stones because they represent the dignity and pride of Peru," said President Alan Garcia.
