Christmas and New Year's Eve are fast approaching and plenty of people may be starting to save for the upcoming holidays. New Year's Eve for me has generally been a time for relaxing and enjoying the night in a local bar or restaurant with family or friends. Last New Year's Eve my friend Lucy and I went to South America for New Year's Eve and if you are planning to go to South America, but confused about which country you may want to go, well you've clicked on the right page! I will discuss the most popular place ever visited on New Year's Eve, which is Rio de Janeiro. Let me tell you, it truly is one of the best ways to experience New Year's Eve, so you just know you want to go.
As we all know, Rio de Janeiro is renowned for the awesome celebrations all year round, including early in the year with the Rio Carnival. Nevertheless, New Year's Eve is absolutely massive in Rio and on Copacabana Beach people gather and celebrate together by drinking, samba dancing, watching the fireworks at midnight, and much more. The firework display in this place is really cool, as they use expensive and very colorful fireworks, and these really last a long time in the night sky and light up around the beach.
Accommodation is a plenty at Copacabana Beach and there are plenty of decent hotels close to the beach. Copacabana Beach is big with the tourists and we stayed in a brilliant 4 star hotel right on the beach. The hotel was one word, AMAZING! It was so worth the extra money. We had a great view of the beach and the whole area. We were thinking going to the big New Year's Eve party they had on at the hotel that looked great, but as the party entrance fee was around $1100 USD we decided to give it a miss and just spent the night out on the beach. Although our hotel was pricey there were quite a lot of affordable hotels to stay that are close by to the beach. Some of these cheaper hotels are pretty old, but still do the job you need and are pretty affordable on most budgets.
If you want warm weather for your New Year's Eve then South America is the place to be. I don't know about you but I find it so annoying that during the holiday time of year back home in the USA, the weather in there is cold. We live in Minnesota, so most of the places close to me are just covered in snow. That's why I wanted so much to spend a New Year's Eve in warm tropical location. I certainly picked a beauty in Rio de Janeiro. The weather was so fantastic whilst we were there, and I loved that we could swim at the beach all day and night. Rio de Janeiro is possibly the best warm weather location to stay during New Year's Eve.
Although it was warm we didn't just go swimming at the beach all the time and there is plenty to do in Rio De Janeiro. If you like mountain hiking, Rio de Janeiro has some awesome trips. My honest advice is if you want to do some mountain hiking then head to Sugar Loaf Mountain. Also after we did some hiking we took a train ride one day up Corcovado mountain to see the Christ the Redeemer statue. This was so worth it, as you get a great view of the whole city up there.
But one thing is for sure, I can highly recommend to everyone to check out Rio De Janeiro for your next New Year's Eve vacation.
