The Vatican announces that Pope Leo will travel to South America in November, including visits to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru. According to Vatican statements cited by multiple outlets, the trip is scheduled for November 6–8 in Uruguay, November 8–11 in Argentina, and November 11–17 in Peru. The journey is described as a homecoming for the pope, who lived in Peru for years before becoming pope. Additional reporting notes that a Catholic pope has not visited South America since Pope Francis’s 2018 trip to Chile and Peru. It also points out that while Francis, who is originally from Argentina, did not visit his home country as pontiff, Pope Leo’s upcoming itinerary includes Argentina as part of this broader regional visit. The coverage agrees that the planned stops cover three countries and follows a long gap since the last papal visit to the continent. The announcement places the pope’s time in each country within a specific November window, aligning the overall schedule across outlets.
