Pope Leo XIV to visit Argentina and Peru in November 2026
Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to conduct an apostolic visit to Argentina and Peru in November 2026. In Argentina, the Pope will visit Buenos Aires, Luján, and Córdoba from November 8 to 11. Preparations in Buenos Aires include a planned reception by President Javier Milei at the Casa Rosada. Local religious communities are organizing a national collection to fund pastoral activities, while the government of Santa Fe is requesting a stopover in Rosario.
In Peru, the Pope’s itinerary has been adjusted to November 11 through 16 to accommodate his commitments in Rome. The Peruvian government has declared the visit a matter of national interest and established a high-level commission to coordinate logistics and security. In the Chiclayo region, officials are evaluating Pimentel as a potential site for a mass, following safety concerns regarding the use of Reque as a former military firing range.
The visits come during a period of political transition in the United States, adding a layer of geopolitical interest to the Pontiff’s travels.
