FIAMBALA – Today, the Dakar watched its fifth stage and the last in Argentina, between Chilecito and Fiambalá. The reddish landscape shades to gray and white, the colors of the famous dunes of the village in the province of Catamarca. In the map, the stage was dreadful, and for the previous years it always shook the scene. This year, the temperature was low and it diminished its well-known difficulties of the fesh-fesh and soft sand. Today´s special was planned for 265 kilometers of timed section and it was shortened to 186 due to the damage caused by the rain.
