Pope Francis will visit Chile and Peru in January, the Vatican said Monday, on a trip that will take the Catholic Churchs first South American pontiff from Santiago to Lima.
"His Holiness Pope Francis will make an Apostolic Trip to Chile from 15 to 18 January 2018... and Peru from 18 to 21 January," the Vatican said in a statement, adding that the details of the trip would be released at a later date.
