Pope Leo XIV will visit Uruguay, Argentina and Peru from 6-17 November, the Vatican said on Wednesday, in a return to the continent where the pontiff spent decades as a missionary.
The pope, who was born Robert Francis Prevost in the US city of Chicago, lived for more than two decades in Peru, where he was a missionary and bishop in Chiclayo.
The northern city will be among the stops the head of the Roman Catholic Church will make in the Andean nation, along with the capital Lima, Cusco and Pucallpa.
