Begin the experience with a transfer from the hotel to the Chiclayo Cathedral, one of the city’s most emblematic churches and a place closely tied to the life of Pope León XIV, who spent many years living in this region. Continue to the district of Eten to visit the Santa María Magdalena Church, a key site in his spiritual journey and personal legacy. Then head to Monsefú to explore the San Pedro Church, another meaningful location in the pastoral path of the current pontiff. Conclude the tour with a return to the hotel in Chiclayo, carrying a deeper, more personal understanding of the man who now leads the Church from Rome, but whose roots remain in northern Peru.

The Church of Santa María Magdalena in Eten, founded in the 16th century, is an important religious site in Lambayeque, Peru. It is best known for the Eucharistic miracle of 1649, when the Child Jesus reportedly appeared in a consecrated host during the Corpus Christi celebration. The original church was buried by desert sands, though some of its remains still exist. The current parish, built in the 1970s, serves as a center of faith and pilgrimage, especially during the festivities of the Divine Child of the Miracle and Saint Mary Magdalene.
