This week Pope Francis completed a whirl-wind eight=day trip to three of South America's poorest countries, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Paraguay.

Being an Argentinian native, the pope's popularity in South America is unprecidented, and his visit was welcomed with open arms by the thousands. From taking selfies with rally attendees and visting prisoners in Bolivia, to changing his wardrobe in a Burger King bathroom, the Pope has, once again, shown that he is one with the people.

See ahead just how many fans Pope Francis has in his native continent.
