The Dakar will be hosted by three countries that have unveiled their characteristics over the last few years. For the first time, the desert stages will make their appearance in the first few days of the rally. After reacquainting with Lima, the drivers will get straight to the heart of the matter. The rest day that will take place in San Miguel de Tucuman will be more than welcome for the competitors, because, to reach Santiago, they will have to go the distance: more than 8,000 Km.
