His last Mass in Ecuador drew about 1.5 million people.
Arriving in Bolivia on 8 July, Pope Francis was received by President Evo Morales at El Alto International Airport near La Paz. Francis spoke, in part: "Bolivia is making important steps towards including broad sectors in the country's economic, social and political life." Later, during their meeting, Morales awarded Pope Francis with the highest Bolivian decoration, the Grand Cross of the Order of the Condor of the Andes and State decoration of Luís Espinal Camps, named after a Jesuit priest and activist known for his commitment to the disadvantaged people of the country, who was murdered by paramilitary forces in March 1980. He also presented the pope with a crucifix in form of a hammer and sickle, which form the symbol of the Communist Party, which he explained had been a form created by Espinal; the gift immediately proved controversial. The Pope also prayed in the place near La Paz where the body of this murdered Jesuit priest was found, and he highlighted his preaching of the Gospel. Pope Francis visited also the Cathedral of La Paz, and after leaving, he traveled to Santa Cruz de la Sierra in the eastern part of Bolivia. On 9 July Pope Francis celebrated Mass in Santa Cruz de la Sierra connected with the opening of the Fifth National Eucharistic Congress. He also attended the World Meeting of Popular Movements, in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, where he addressed Bolivia's poor and indigenous communities, and apologized to the country's indigenous people for the "grave sins" the church committed towards them during Spanish colonial rule. This event brought together delegates from popular movements from around the world; Morales also attended. Francis expressed in his speech on this event his solidarity with gathered popular movements and their efforts. and
