Pope Leo XIV to visit Argentina in November

Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to visit Argentina from November 8 to 11, marking his first trip to Latin America. The itinerary includes stops in Buenos Aires on November 9, Córdoba on November 10, and Luján on November 11. The Pope will be based at the Nunciature of Buenos Aires.

Authorities in Argentina, including the national government and provincial leaders from Buenos Aires and Córdoba, are coordinating security, logistics, and institutional organization. Karina Milei is leading these coordination efforts. A Vatican mission, headed by Monsignor José Nahúm Jairo Salas Castañeda, has arrived in the country to inspect potential venues and finalize the itinerary.

Proposed activities include meetings with religious leaders, seminarists, people with disabilities, and incarcerated individuals. Potential venues under consideration include the Villa Devoto prison and a mass gathering at the River Plate stadium, though the latter faces capacity concerns.

The visit also extends to Uruguay and Peru. In Peru, the government has declared the Pope's visit a matter of national interest to facilitate logistics, and officials are evaluating the possibility of declaring regional or national holidays during his stay from November 11 to 17.
