教宗利奥十四世宣布将在11月6日至17日进行其担任教宗以来首次拉丁美洲之行。[1]此次访问将涵盖三个国家，其中乌拉圭将访问蒙得维的亚、派桑杜和佛罗里达；阿根廷将访问布宜诺斯艾利斯、科尔多瓦和卢汉；秘鲁将访问利马、奇克拉约、库斯科和普卡尔帕。[1]
这次行程对利奥具有特殊的个人意义。[1]他曾在秘鲁度过大部分传教生涯，于2015年至2023年间担任基克拉约主教，并持有秘鲁公民身份。[1]此外，他也将访问前任教宗方济各的祖国阿根廷，尽管方济各作为拉丁美洲首位教宗，在其12年任期内从未回过阿根廷。[1]
Pope Leo XIV has announced his first visit to Latin America since becoming pontiff, scheduled for November 6-17.[1] The three-nation tour will take him to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru, marking a significant journey for the pontiff given his deep personal ties to the region.[1]
The Pope's itinerary includes visits to Montevideo, Paysandú, and Florida in Uruguay; Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and Luján in Argentina; and Lima, Chiclayo, Cusco, and Pucallpa in Peru.[1] Leo XIV spent most of his missionary career in Peru, where he served as Bishop of Chiclayo from 2015 to 2023 and holds Peruvian citizenship.[1] The Argentina leg of the trip will also allow him to visit the homeland of his predecessor, Pope Francis, who despite being the first Latin American pontiff and serving for 12 years, never returned to Argentina during his papacy.[1]
