Country in Peru rallying (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rural

'country' is the definition.
('rural' can be similar in meaning to 'country')

'in peru rallying' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'RURAL' is hidden in the letters of 'peru rallying'.

(Other definitions for rural that I've seen before include "Pastoral or agricultural" , "Countrified" , "Bucolic; pastoral" , "Characteristic of the countryside" , "Rustic" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
