(Reuters) - Next year's Dakar Rally will be held entirely in Peru, the first time it has been held in just one country, after other South American nations stayed out for economic reasons.

Presenting the route on Friday, organisers said the 41st edition of the event would run from Jan. 6-17 with a start and finish in Lima.
