A condor flight, about 5000 kilometers separate Lima Mar del Plata. In 2012, the Dakar proposes a pan-American epic of more than 9000 km in total. The online layout, leading to the rally from the Atlantic to the Pacific, allows participants to move into new territories, of a different America. The importance of the challenge also requires an amendment to the sports format, which this year includes 14 days of racing. Constantly guided by the Cordillera de los Andes, Atacama pilots reach and experience in particular Dune diversity by venturing to Peru.
THREE COUNTRIES: ARGENTINA - CHILE - PERU
Argentina, sea version (long grain + 5 stages)
sports sessions starting from 1 January, after the ceremonial start of Mar del Plata. Argentina used to cross, this time the drivers and their teams will take a "cut line" to reach unprecedented Cordillera de los Andes. Only selected some familiar landscapes and areas of excellence, to enter the Argentine program in 2012.
Chile, Atacama towards (5 stages + 1 day off)
Entry to Chile begins first with a part of climbing. Having crossed the Andean mountain range, the rally was preparing to board until the end, cutting through mountains and ocean. During this crossing north-south axis, the Dakar provides lost in the Atacama Desert, where in addition to the science of the dunes, navigation skills are needed.
Peru, another country of desert (4 stages + arrival)
At sea level, this time the border crossing is painless, but the contrast is very real. Before coming to Lima, the most experienced rally participants can prepare to review what is known. Peruvian sand dune areas may seem endless, except for those that dominate the roads of Mauritania. There, the diversity of territories and ways of life imposed as clear, the sand will require a careful apprenticeship.
