In Peru rallies are held in the country (5)

I believe the answer is:

rural

'in the country' is the definition.
(rural means in the countryside)

'in peru rallies are held' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'RURAL' is hidden in the letters of 'peru rallies held'.

(Other definitions for rural that I've seen before include "Sort of dean" , "Rustic" , "Countryfied" , "Arcadian" , "covering the country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
