Rio’s second biggest party – only slightly trailing Carnival – is New Year’s Eve, also locally called “Reveillon”, along Copacabana Beach.
There is no cost to the beach celebration, and more than 2.5 million tourists and Cariocas come every year to the legendary beach to celebrate the changing of the year, and take part in one of the world’s biggest and best parties. Partiers start to arrive on Copacabana Beach early in the day, to set up their stay for the rest of the day and night. By the time evening arrives, the beach is pulsating with people waiting to ring in the new year, and by midnight, close to 3 million people are in the beach, ringing in the new year.
Don't forget to wear white, as Brazilian tradition dictates!
After incredibly great impressions of one of the truly most beautiful cities on earth, take your flight home today, if you end your individual tour of Brazil at this point.
