STAGE 3 TRACKING


STAGE 3:  San Miguel de Tucuman>San Salvador de Jujuy

Connection 231km | Special Stage 500km | Total 731km


COURSE OVERVIEW

To reach Jujuy, the special stage has been split into two parts, separated by a neutralised section. On the first part, the bikers will again be racing on their own track, plunging into the desert canyons where the red of the sand and cliffs is the dominant colour. There is a striking contrast with the second timed portion: the race moves to earthen tracks and the vehicles will disappear into thick green forest. The trucks have been excused from this challenge, deemed too dangerous for the windscreens which are at the same level as tree branches.
