Pope Leo XIV will visit Argentina between Nov. 8-11. One of the main stops will be the city of Lujan, where he'll celebrate Mass outside a basilica dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Weeks before his arrival, Catholics walked about 37 miles (60 kilometers) to the same shrine in an annual youth pilgrimage. A record 2.7 million people attended this year, in a town of just over 100,000 inhabitants. Reporter Natalio Cosoy asked two of them to record their journeys.
