Pope Leo XIV South American apostolic visit

Overview

Pope Leo XIV is preparing for an apostolic visit to South America in November 2026, marking his first tour of the region. The regional tour is scheduled to begin in Uruguay from November 6 to November 8, 2026, before proceeding to Argentina from November 8 to November 11.

In Argentina, the itinerary includes stops in Buenos Aires, Luján, and Córdoba. In Buenos Aires, officials are preparing for an estimated 600,000 to 800,000 attendees, with the Monumento de los Españoles in Palermo being considered as a primary site for a central mass and youth gathering. The Pope’s first day in the capital is expected to include paying floral tribute at the Monument to General José de San Martín, a central meeting with President Javier Milei at the Casa Rosada, and an event at Palacio Libertad with civil society and the diplomatic corps. Other planned stops include the Devoto prison and the Cottolengo Don Orione in Claypole to support people with disabilities. Additionally, the itinerary includes a visit to the Metropolitan Cathedral to honor the late Pope Francis.

In Córdoba, the Pope will travel on November 10 for activities at the Military Aviation School, the Archbishopric, and the Cathedral. The Fábrica Argentina de Aviones (Fadea) grounds have been selected for a central mass expected to draw approximately one million people. The Argentine leg will conclude with a visit to the Basilica of Luján before the Pope departs for Peru on November 11. To manage security, the Argentine Ministry of Security has established three Unified Federal Commands to coordinate operations across Buenos Aires, the province of Buenos Aires, and Córdoba. To support the event, the Argentine Episcopal Conference has opened pre-registration for volunteers via an online accreditation platform, with registration remaining open until October 8, 2026.
