More than four hundred racers in four classes of vehicles raced 5,200 miles from Lima, Peru to Santiago, Chile in hopes of winning first place in the 2013 Dakar Rally off-road race. This is the fifth year that the event has taken place in South America after security threats forced the cancellation of the original race that had run from Paris, France, to Dakar, Senegal since 1978.
