杏MAP导航 Francis has departed from Chile ending the first leg of his 22nd apostolic journey abroad. He arrived in the capital, Santiago, on Monday 15 and went on to visit Temuco in the south and Iquique in the north of the country.

The papal plane took off on Thursday evening from the “Diego Aracena” International Airport in the city of Iquique and is heading for Lima, the capital of Peru where he will spend the next three days.

Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet was at the Airport for a brief personal encounter before saying goodbye.
