The event will feature prominent figures in motorsports, including Wรกlter Nosiglia Jr., a Dakar Rally participant, alongside competitors from Argentina, Ecuador, and Paraguay, as well as local racing stars.

Erick Demer, the director of the event, highlighted that the Enduro Tropical is more than just a sporting competition; it's an economic driver for various brands and businesses. The race will cover paths and communities in northern Santa Cruz, with organizers ensuring medical assistance, hydration points, fuel resupply, and clear route signaling to minimize risks for participants.

The ultimate goal for all competitors is to reach the finish line in Urubรณ, marking the culmination of what is anticipated to be one of Bolivia's most significant events of its kind.

More than being a sporting event, it is an activity in which economic movement is generated for different brands.
