Being just a few hours away to the arrival of Pope Leo XIV in Peru, the organizers of the visit have revealed the routes the Supreme Pontiff will take in the Popemobile—bestowing blessings—as well as the locations where he will meet with the faithful.
Leo XIV will land at Air Group No. 8 in Callao on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 11. His first engagement will take place in the Cercado de Lima, where he will be welcomed and hold a meeting with President Keiko Fujimori at the Government Palace.
Wednesday, November 11: From the Air Group to the Government Palace
In a press conference, Monsignor Guillermo Inca Pereda, national coordinator for Pope Leo XIV’s visit to Peru, stated that after arriving at the airport, the Pope will travel along Faucett, La Marina, and Brasil avenues in a closed vehicle—though in a way that still allows the public to see the Holy Father.
It is worth noting that upon his arrival in Uruguay, the Supreme Pontiff left the airport in a closed vehicle but kept the windows open, allowing him to greet the faithful who had gathered along the roadside.
On the way to the center of Lima, Leo XIV will switch vehicles and board the Popemobile at the Basilica of Mary Help of Christians (Basílica María Auxiliadora), located on Brasil Avenue in the Breña district.
From there, he will continue along Bolivia, Garcilaso de la Vega, and Nicolás de Piérola avenues, and finally along Jirón Conde de Superunda, to reach the seat of the Executive branch.
Thursday the 12th: From the Civic Center to the Plaza de Armas
The following day, Thursday the 12th, after departing from the Apostolic Nunciature—located in the Jesús María district—the Pope will travel to the center of Lima in a closed vehicle.
At the Civic Center, he will switch to the popemobile and continue his journey toward the Plaza de Armas, traveling along Avenida Garcilaso de la Vega, Avenida Tacna, and finally along Jirón Conde de Superunda.
Monsignor Inca noted that the Pope will make a stop at the Monastery of Las Nazarenas, located on Avenida Tacna, to pray before the venerated image of the *Señor de los Milagros* (Lord of the Miracles).
On his second day in the country, Pope Leo XIV will meet with the bishops of Peru in the chapel of the Archbishop’s Palace, and subsequently, he will lead the celebration of the "Midday Prayer" (Hora Media) at the Basilica Cathedral. Beginning at 11:30 a.m., he will preside over a gathering focused on the challenges and hopes for the future of the Peruvian people at the Plaza de Armas.
Popemobile in Lambayeque, Cusco and Pucallpa
Regarding Pope Leo XIV’s visits to the regions, the coordinator for the papal visit explained that in Lambayeque—where the Pope will be present on Friday the 13th and Saturday the 14th of November—he will use the popemobile only upon his arrival at the Pampas de Pimentel, where he will celebrate Mass.
In Cusco, where he will arrive on Sunday, November 15, the Holy Father will travel a long route (8 kilometers) in the popemobile—from his arrival at Alejandro Velasco Astete Airport to the Inca archaeological site of Sacsayhuamán—a journey that will include a passage along the iconic Avenida El Sol.
Finally, on the afternoon of that same Sunday, the Pope will arrive in Pucallpa, in the Peruvian jungle. It is expected that he will board the popemobile at the city’s Plaza de Armas and head toward La Videnita, where he will celebrate Holy Mass.
