See the “Popemobile” to Carry the Pope Around Lima (VIDEO)

The white vehicle has a rotating seat and automatic steps to facilitate the ascent and descent of the Supreme Pontiff.

The Organizing Committee for the visit of Pope Francis to Peru presented the Popemobile yesterday afternoon. Taking into account that security has been reviewed by the Swiss Guard who came strictly to verify that everything was in order, it is clear that every single aspect is set for the visit of the Supreme Pontiff. At least six thousand policemen and soldiers will guard Pope Francis in Trujillo.

On this car, the Pope will tour Brazil Avenue on Thursday January 18th and pay tribute to the image of the Virgin located on the last block of the avenue.

Then the Popemobile will reach the Guzman Blanco Avenue and finish the journey in the Apostolic Nunciature.
This will be the first great meeting of the Holy Father with the people of Peru and Brazil Avenue will surely be full of people waiting for his arrival. During a press conference, the national coordinator of the papal visit, Alfonso Grados Carraro, said that massive attendance is expected in every place the pope visits.
