Pope Francis will visit Peru on January 18-21, 2018, the Peruvian Episcopal Conference (CEP) announced on Monday.
In a press conference, also attended by President Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, CEP representatives affirmed the visit will include cities Lima, Puerto Maldonado and Trujillo.
His trip schedule will be published soon.
As is known, Pope Francis last May expressed his
wish to visit the Inca country in 2018.
Last March, His Holiness
sent a contribution of US$100,000 to Peru as an expression of love and sympathy with the Andean nation to tackle "Coastal El Niño" phenomenon.
