Pope Leo XIV concluded his visit to Argentina on Wednesday after drawing large crowds, including an estimated two million people at the Basilica of Lujan, before departing for Peru as part of his 12-day South America tour.

During his visit, the US-born pontiff attracted more than six million people, criticised President Javier Milei's social programme cuts and visited Buenos Aires' Devoto prison, where he spoke to around 75 inmates about the importance of personal limits and human growth.

Leo now faces a potentially sensitive visit to Peru, where he is expected to address President Keiko Fujimori's leadership.

His previous criticism of her late father, former President Alberto Fujimori, could add political tension. The itinerary includes the Amazon, Chiclayo and Cuzco, located at an altitude of 3,400 metres.
