Pope Francis carried out a series of activities in La Libertad region's capital, Trujillo, on the third day (Saturday) of his intense trip to Peru.

The first one was an open-air mass the Bishop of Rome led for around 500,000 believers at Huanchaco Beach.

Then, the Holy Father greeted pilgrims from his Popemobile as he toured the streets of the city.

Later, he led a meeting with the priests, religious authorities, and seminarists belonging to 11 ecclesiastical districts in northern Peru.

Afterwards, the Supreme Pontiff rode his Popemobile to the city's main square to preside over a Marian celebration of Our Lady of the Gate and delivered a speech.

Lastly, His Holiness returned to the Apostolic Nunciature in Lima.
