Pope León XIV to visit Argentina in November 2026 FAST-MOVING
The Vatican has confirmed that Pope León XIV will undertake an apostolic tour of Uruguay, Argentina and Peru from 6 to 17 November 2026. In Argentina the pontiff will be in Buenos Aires, Córdoba and the sanctuary of Luján from 8 to 11 November, ending a 39‑year gap since Juan Pablo II’s visit in April 1987. President Javier Milei hailed the trip as historic and announced an inter‑ministerial committee to manage security and logistics. Cardinal Ángel Rossi travelled to Rome in late June to meet the Pope and renew the invitation for the Argentine leg. The itinerary also includes Montevideo, Paysandú and Florida in Uruguay (6‑8 Nov) and Lima, Chiclayo, Cuzco and Pucallpa in Peru (11‑17 Nov). Pope León XIV, born in Chicago, holds Peruvian citizenship since 2015 and previously served as bishop of Chiclayo.
