Pope Leo XIV will proceed with his planned trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru from 6 to 17 November, following a post‑surgery checkup, the Vatican confirmed.

The announcement came after the Pope’s recent medical appointment, which cleared him to resume his travel schedule.

He will visit the three South American nations as part of his ongoing pastoral visits, which aim to strengthen ties with the Catholic communities in the region.

The itinerary covers 11 days of travel, during which the Pope is expected to meet with local clergy, attend liturgical celebrations and engage in outreach activities.

Details of the specific events in each country have not yet been released, but the trip is a continuation of the Pope’s commitment to visiting the faithful around the world.
