Peruvian President José María Balcázar announced Thursday that Pope Leo XIV will visit Peru in the first half of November.
Balcázar said after meeting with the pontiff at the Vatican that Leo will travel to Puno, Iquitos, Cusco, Pucallpa, Piura and Chiclayo, where the Pope carried out his pastoral work for nearly a decade. The Chicago-born pope previously lived in Trujillo, on the northwestern coast, and became a Peruvian citizen in 2015.
