Luis Miguel commenced the second leg of his tour on 12 September 2002 in Chula Vista, California and presented three more shows in the United States.

He continued the second leg in South America performing in Chile, Peru, Uruguay, and Argentina. The tour concluded on 14 December 2002 in the Dominican Republic.
