16:38 | Lima, Nov. 11.

Flight AR1096, carrying Pope Leo XIV to Peru from Argentina, is already in Peruvian airspace and heading toward Lima, where the Supreme Pontiff will begin a series of activities as part of a six-day visit.

The Holy Father boarded the Airbus A330-200 aircraft at 2:11 p.m. (Argentine time), after carrying out various activities in that country, where he presided over two large-scale Masses attended by a combined total of more than 4.5 million people.

On his final day in Argentina, the Supreme Pontiff visited the Devoto Federal Prison Complex.

He also presided over a closing Mass in the square outside the Basílica of Our Lady of Luján.

His final activity was a farewell ceremony at Ministro Pistarini International Airport, led by Argentine President Javier Milei.

The aircraft carrying Pope Leo XIV will land at Air Group No. 8, located on Faucett Avenue in Callao.

From there, His Holiness will travel in an enclosed vehicle along Faucett, La Marina, Sucre, and Brasil avenues until reaching Basílica de María Auxiliadora (Basilica of Mary Help of Christians).

At the site, the Supreme Pontiff will be welcomed as part of the activities scheduled for his apostolic visit to the country.

He will then begin his first journey in the Popemobile in front of the Basilica of María Auxiliadora, located on blocks 1 and 2 of Brasil Avenue, in Breña district.
