Pope Leo XIV has begun a 12-day tour of Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru, marking his first major international travel since undergoing lung surgery last month. NPR reported that the recent operation had initially put the entire journey into question, and DW noted that the voyage stands as the longest and farthest of his papacy so far. DW also singled out the final stop in Peru as attracting particular interest.
