Posted by Ricardo Marcenaro | Posted in | Posted on 4:52


The 31st running of the Dakar Rally is being held in South America for the second year, instead of the traditional African route, due to ongoing security concerns. This year's race began and will end in Buenos Aires, covering a looping 9,000 kilometers between Argentina and Chile over 14 stages. 362 Teams began the race with 176 motorcycles and quad bikes, 134 cars, and 52 trucks. The race is just over halfway completed now, the winners expected to cross the finish line on January 16th. Collected here are several photographs from the first 8 stages of this year's rally.

Few words to the persons who are thinking to arrive to Southamerica, specially to Argentina and Chile.

Persons over here are friendly people, do not believe everything our media says about the conditions of life in both countries, specifically, I'm speaking about security, one thing are the great cities, another, the people of the interior land.

Our countries are beautiful, with different geographic situations and climes, valleys, mountains, steppes, the pampa where the agriculture grows with generosity, jungles, deserts, natural food, hotels and hostels of different categories, a great variety of forms to do tourism, so, enjoy them, lands of aventure, with open hearts, for you.

Pocas palabras a las personas que están pensando en llegar a Sudamérica, especialmente a la Argentina y Chile.

Las personas aquí son gente amistosas, no creo en todo lo que nuestros medios dicen sobre las condiciones de vida en ambos países, en concreto, estoy hablando acerca de la seguridad, una cosa son las grandes ciudades, otro, el pueblo de la tierra interior.

Nuestros países son hermosos, con diferentes situaciones geográficas y climas, valles, montañas, estepas, la pampa, donde la agricultura crece con generosidad, selvas, desiertos, alimentos naturales, hoteles y hostales de diferentes categorías, una gran variedad de formas de hacer turismo, así que disfrutad de ellas, tierras de aventura, con el corazón abierto, para usted.
