Overview
- Multiple Argentine and Peruvian outlets and church figures say León XIV is expected to make a roughly two‑week tour in the first half of November that would spend about ten days in Peru, three days in Argentina and around one and a half days in Uruguay.
- Peru’s interim president publicly confirmed a papal visit to Peru in the first week of November and described an eight‑to‑ten‑day program including Lima, Chiclayo, Piura, Pucallpa and Cuzco.
- The Holy See has not issued an official itinerary and Argentine bishops say they are awaiting a formal announcement while preparatory work continues, with the new nuncio due in mid‑July and Vatican offices consulting on schedule details.
- Argentine church leaders have proposed Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Santiago del Estero as national stops and the Córdoba provincial government issued a statement welcoming the possibility, with local venues such as River Plate’s Monumental already offered for large events.
- If confirmed, the trip would be the first papal visit to Argentina in nearly 40 years, likely drawing large crowds, testing security and transport plans, and giving the pope a platform to press themes of encounter and national reconciliation.
