Bolivia will host the runners in three stages.

The competition will pass through Bolivia and will have three stages at the altitude of the high plateau, in all categories: autos, motos, quadricycles and trucks.

“It is through the immediate participation and firm commitment of the Bolivian and Argentine authorities that we have been able to find adequate technical solutions to meet the new challenge that has arisen for us at the end of August.. It is loyalty to the institutions of the two countries, which today allows competitors to offer an edition 2016 of the Dakar Quality”, says the ASO statement.

As La Razón had already announced, the toughest race in the world will not pass through La Paz as initially stipulated, due to the resignation of Peru, given that the distances between Argentina and the department of La Paz are very long.

ASO also confirmed that there will be a modification in the way to get to the Uyuni camp., in which all categories will meet but before finishing the stage the competitors will face a marathon test.

“Before arriving (a Bolivia), the pilots will face a 'marathon' configuration’ unprecedented… The passage through Bolivia will continue to provide competitors with three days of racing at altitude”, explained the Dakar sports director, Mark Coma.
