## Summary

Pope Leo ended his three-day visit to Argentina with an outdoor Mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Luján, attended by an estimated 2 million people. The event capped a visit that drew more than 6 million overall and featured calls to include people in need, as well as a visit to a major prison where he urged humane treatment of detainees.

He now heads to Peru, where he served as a missionary for about 20 years and was bishop of Chiclayo from 2015 to 2023. His three-day visit includes a meeting with newly elected President Keiko Fujimori, whose family’s political legacy Leo has previously criticised over her father’s human rights record. The Peru leg is part of a three-country tour ending on 17 November.
