The Latam plane carrying Pope Francis has just landed at Callao's Air Group N°8 for a 4-day papal visit to Peru.
The leader of the Catholic Church will visit three cities while in the Inca country.
He will travel to
Puerto Maldonado —the capital of rainforest Madre de Dios region— on January 19.
On January 20, the Catholic Church's leader will head to La Libertad region's capital city
Trujillo on Peru's northern coast.
According to schedule, His Holiness will hold a multitudinous mass at Lima's
Las Palmas Air Base on January 21.
This will be the first time —in almost 30 years— that a Supreme Pontiff visits the Inca nation after Pope John Paul II's May 1988 tour.
The current Pontiff will find a recovered and healthy nation, with
indicators dissimilar from those reported during Pope John Paul II's visits.
Likewise, his arrival is expected to generate a direct economic benefit worth US$91 million and draw 30,000 foreign tourists.
