Pope Leo XIV will travel more than 19,000 miles on 14 flights during a trip to Peru, Argentina, and Uruguay from Nov. 6 to 17, according to a Vatican schedule released Sept. 21. This visit marks the first trip to Latin America of his pontificate and his longest international journey to date.

During the 12-day trip, the pope will celebrate nine public Masses, visit seven cathedrals, and preside over two prayer vigils in stadiums. The journey begins Nov. 6 with a 14-hour, 6,900-mile flight from Rome to Montevideo, Uruguay. He will visit Uruguay from Nov. 6 to 8, marking the first papal visit to the country since 1988.

The itinerary includes a 2,200-mile flight from Buenos Aires to Lima and a military helicopter flight on Nov. 14 to the Andes mountain town of Santa Cruz de Succhabamba, Peru. The trip concludes in Chiclayo, Peru, where the pope served as bishop from 2015 to 2023. The final flight from Lima to Rome will cover 6,700 miles.
