Chiclayo

Pope Leo XIV is announced to visit Peru's Chiclayo in November 2026, though the Vatican has not confirmed the trip. The visit would be the first papal visit to Peru since Pope Francis in 2018.

Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope who spent nearly a decade as bishop of Chiclayo, plans an 8-to-10-day November visit to Peru covering Lima, Chiclayo, Cusco, Piura, and Pucallpa.

Pope Leo XIV is expected to visit Peru in November, returning to the country where he served as bishop of Chiclayo and held citizenship. Interim President José María Balcázar confirmed the trip is 'programmed from November 10' following the presidential runoff.
