BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Pope Leo XIV arrived in Argentina on Sunday on the second leg of his South American trip. President Javier Milei greeted him at Jorge Newbery International Airport after his flight from Montevideo.

The Vatican’s itinerary includes Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Luján before the pope leaves Argentina on Wednesday. His trip began Friday in Uruguay with stops in Montevideo, Paysandú and Florida.

The visit takes Leo to the home country of his predecessor, Pope Francis. The final and longest leg will take him to Peru, where he spent years as a missionary and bishop.

The Vatican lists stops in Lima, Chiclayo, Cusco and Pucallpa before the trip ends Nov. 17.
