Christmas and New Year's Eve is such an amazing time of year and it is the most anticipated time of year for me. New Year's Eve for me in the past few years has been a time for relaxing and enjoying the night in my favourite bar in my home town with family or friends. However, last New Year's Eve my friend Lucy and I went to South America for Christmas and New Year's Eve. If you are thinking of going to South America for New Year's Eve then I will be able to tell you all about it in this travel review. If you're undecided about which country to go to, don't be, because Brazil and Rio De Janeiro are where it is at for New Year's Eve in South America. A New Year's Eve in Rio De Janeiro is truly one of the best ways to experience New Year's Eve.
Let me tell you, Rio de Janeiro is amazing for heaps of celebrations all year round, including in February/March when the Rio Carnival is on. But hey, New Year's Eve is absolutely massive and Copacabana Beach really is the place to be for a New Year's Eve in Rio. At Copacabana people gather and celebrate together by drinking, samba dancing and watching the midnight fireworks. The midnight New Year's Eve firework display in Copacabana Beach is really special, because they use amazing very colorful fireworks that last a long time in the night sky and really light up the beach.
There are hotels to stay at the beach, and one of which is the Copacabana Palace Hotel. Although the hotel is very luxurious, it is still worth a stay. The place gives you an overlooking view around the area. It also has New Year's Eve parties, but the Hotel party entrance fee is around $1100 USD. If you are looking for an affordable hotel to stay at the beach, you may want to try the Mama Ruisa Hotel, an older, but also beautiful, and affordable place to stay.
What makes South America an awesome place for New Year's Eve is that during this time of year, the weather in northern hemisphere countries is cold and often caked in snow. That's why many vacationers will spend their holidays at tropical locations, like Rio de Janeiro. The weather is consistently hot during the holidays, and vacationers will love to swim at the beach all day and night. Rio de Janeiro is one of the best warm weather locations to stay during New Year's Eve.
I know we wasted a lot of time hanging out at the beach, but our trip wasn't just all about swimming at the beach all the time as there was plenty of other things to do in Rio De Janeiro. We decided to do a mountain hike up Sugar Loaf Mountain and this was such an awesome trip. If you want to do some hiking then definitely head to Sugar Loaf Mountain. Also after we did some hiking we took a train ride up Corcovado mountain one day to see the Christ the Redeemer statue. This was so worth it, as you get a great view of the whole city up there.
Hey guys, take my word for it, I can highly recommend you check out Rio De Janeiro for your next New Year's Eve vacation.
