REVEILLON – NEW YEAR’S EVE CELEBRATION
Copacabana Beach - The greatest show of the year
It's well known that Brazilians know how to party and New Year's Eve in Rio, or Reveillon, is one of the biggest events of the year.
Eye Candy will be positioning their giant broadcast screens in the heart of the action, on either side of the main stage at Copacabana Beach where the festivities and celebrations are concentrated, with an estimated 3 million people attending. Most people are dressed in white and the eclectic mix of fireworks, samba schools and bands that celebrates African, Christian and indigenous traditions, make this is event not to be missed!
The parties on Copacabana Beach are enormous. During the day hundreds of thousands people come to the seafront to pay homage to the Afro-Brazilian orixá, or goddess, Iemanjá, placing offerings in the sea. Music is played throughout the day and early evening live acts and DJs start up the sound systems on the official stages.
Three stages are set up over a 4km stretch: there is a Brazilian popular music stage playing sambas, pagodes and choros, a rock stage and another playing older music such as boleros, samba-canção and old carnival songs.
The New Year has arrived!
The fireworks festival starts at midnight, with the turning of the year. The fireworks stations are located in boats anchored in a safe distance from the beach. It lasts about 15-20 minutes, and two highlights are the fireworks cascades at Forte de Copacabana and at Le Meridien Hotel. This is only the beginning, however, as people dance into the night.
This is a party where everybody is welcome. Walk along the beach and you will run into socialites, working class people, transvestites, children, seniors, couples, teenagers, it seems that all tribes mingle in peace to welcome the new year.
RIO DE JANEIRO
Known as the “Wonderful City”, Rio de Janeiro offers attractions that have rendered the city international fame. Who has never heard about Reveillon or the Carnival in Rio, the most amazing popular party’s in the world?
Or who has never heard about Sugar Loaf Mountain and the statue of Christ Redeemer? Or about the beautiful beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema, that have inspired musicians from all over the world?
Or, also, who has never heard about the Tijuca National Park – the largest urban area natural preservation area in the Country?
Rio is all that. And much more! The city was the Brazilian capital until 1960 – when Brasilia, the current capital, was inaugurated. Because it was the capital, concentrating much power, the city’s architectonic traces include luxurious and imposing constructions – that sheltered the nobility and other important personages of those times. Since the city’s weather is hot and pleasant all through the year, Rio does not depend on seasons to attract visitors.
Its attractions can be appreciated any time of the year. Whoever visits Rio soon finds out that their agenda is always full – that is the pride of the local population. There is always something to be done in the city, from exhibitions, theater plays, dance and music shows to sports events for all tastes – such as free flying, much appreciated by all those who enjoy strong sensations on board a hang glider floating above the most famous landscapes of Rio.
But the Wonderful City has yet a wide range of other attractions to offer, such as cultural centers, numberless museums, churches, famous confectioners’, old streetcars and beaches – many beaches.
Besides the millions of visitors that thrive for the landscapes and natural beauties and the wide range of culture and history offered by this especially Brazilian city, a different type of tourist has been increasingly attracted to Rio in the last few years: the business tourist.
The capital of the State of Rio de Janeiro is also one of the greatest business centers in the Country, being constantly chosen to host important national and international conferences, congresses and meetings.
