Just hours before the eagerly anticipated arrival of Pope Leo XIV in Peru, the visit's organizers disclosed the routes along which the Supreme Pontiff will travel aboard the Popemobile, bestowing blessings upon the faithful, as well as the meeting points with them.
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 Cercado de Lima.
Wednesday, November 11: From Air Group No. 8 to the Government Palace
At a press conference, Monsignor Guillermo Inca Pereda, national coordinator of Pope Leo XIV's visit to Peru, stated that his arrival is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.
He will receive the official welcome marking the beginning of his apostolic visit to Peru.
Subsequently, at 6:15 p.m., the Supreme Pontiff will proceed to the Government Palace to participate in the official welcome ceremony, which will mark the start of his protocol engagements in the capital.
On his way to the Main Square, Pope Leo XIV will travel along Faucett, La Marina, and Brasil avenues in an enclosed vehicle. However, the public will still have the opportunity to see the Holy Father.
It is worth noting that, upon his arrival in Uruguay, the Supreme Pontiff left the airport in an enclosed vehicle, although he kept the windows open, allowing him to greet the faithful who had gathered along the roadside.
On his way to downtown Lima, Leo XIV will change vehicles and board the Popemobile at the Basílica María Auxiliadora (Basilica of Mary Help of Christians), located on Brasil Avenue in the Breña district.
Aboard this vehicle, he will continue along Bolivia, Garcilaso de la Vega, and Nicolás de Piérola avenues, as well as Jirón Conde de Superunda, before reaching the Executive Branch's headquarters.
At 6:45 p.m., Pope Leo XIV will pay a visit to the President of the Republic, Keiko Fujimori, at the seat of the Executive Branch.
The first day of his visit will conclude at 7:45 p.m. with a meeting attended by authorities, representatives of civil society, and members of the diplomatic corps at the Grand National Theater.
During this engagement, the Holy Father will deliver an address to those in attendance.
Thursday, November 12: From the Civic Center to the Main Square
The following day, November 12, after departing from the Apostolic Nunciature, located in Jesús María, Pope Leo XIV will proceed to downtown Lima in an enclosed vehicle.
Afterwards, he will board the Popemobile at the Civic Center and continue toward the Plaza de Armas along Garcilaso de la Vega Avenue, Tacna Avenue, and once again along Jirón Conde de Superunda.
Monsignor Inca specified that His Holiness will make a stop at Monasterio de Las Nazarenas (Monastery of Las Nazarenas), located on Tacna Avenue, to pray before the venerated image of Señor de los Milagros (Lord of Miracles).
On his second day in the country, Pope Leo XIV will meet with the bishops of Peru at the chapel of the Archbishop's Palace. Subsequently, he will lead the celebration of Midday Prayer at the Cathedral Basilica.
Beginning at 11:30 a.m., the Supreme Pontiff will preside over a meeting on the challenges and hopes for the future of the Peruvian people at the Main Square.
Popemobile in Lambayeque, Cusco, and Pucallpa
Regarding Pope Leo XIV's visit to the regions, the papal visit coordinator explained that, in Lambayeque—where His Holiness will be on November 13 and 14—Leo XIV will use the Popemobile only upon arrival at Pampas de Pimentel, where he will celebrate Mass.
In Cusco, where he is scheduled to arrive on November 15, the Holy Father will undertake a lengthy 8-kilometer journey aboard the Popemobile, from Alejandro Velasco Astete Airport to the Inca archaeological complex of Sacsayhuamán.
The route will include the emblematic El Sol Avenue.
Finally, on the afternoon of that same Sunday, the Pope will arrive in Pucallpa, in the Peruvian jungle. Leo XIV is expected to board the Popemobile at the city's Main Square and head to La Videnita, where he will celebrate Holy Mass.
