2012 Dakar Rally To Showcase Peru In Front Of The World



ANDINA. President of the Peruvian Sports Institute (IPD) Arturo Woodman said the 2012 Dakar Rally will showcase the image of Peru in front of the world.

The Dakar Rally is aired in 190 countries, (which is why) it will showcase the image of Peru in front of the world in sports and tourism. We’re very satisfied,” Woodman told RPP.

During his visit to Paris, Woodman confirmed that the 2012 Dakar Rally off-road would finish in Lima on January 15 next year, and expressed his joy and satisfaction for such event.

Dakar Rally authorities will hold a press conference on April 12 in the Peruvian capital in order to make the official announcement and welcome the country as part of the race.

“There will be three campsites with three route stages beginning in the south of Peru. They will come through Tacna, pass through Arequipa, Moquegua, Ica and Lima. Before the prize ceremony at the Plaza de Armas, drivers and their crews will be able to rest in Santa Maria,” the IPD president explained.
