The Best Travel Destination For New Year's Eve In South America Is Rio De Janeiro

By Grace Charvin


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.

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.

If you need accommodation there are heaps of hotels close to the beach. Copacabana really is a massive tourist hub, so we stayed in a really neat 4 star hotel right on the beach. Although the hotel was pretty flash, it was still worth the money. We had a great view of the beach and the whole area. The hotel next door to us had a massive New Year's Eve party that looked pretty ritzy, as the party entrance fee was around $1100 USD. However, there are quite a lot of affordable hotels to stay that are right near the beach. Some of them are a bit older, 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.

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.

If I were you I would book a trip to Rio De Janeiro for your next New Year's Eve vacation. I can guarantee you will not regret. You will definitely have a blast.
