New Year in Rio

The magical capital of magical Brazil is the place where a true fun-lover should celebrate the New Year, for whom snow is not a must these days. In Brazil, the largest New Year celebrations take place in Rio, and those who see them once will never forget them. Every year, spectacular fireworks and musical performances attract about two million tourists from all over the world to the legendary Copacabana beach. On these days, it is customary to wear only white dresses, as it is believed that this brings good luck. Exactly at midnight on December 31, everyone starts kissing, hugging and toasting each other to congratulate each other on the New Year. One of the most popular dishes in Rio is feidoja, which is made from beans, dried meat, sausage, pork, garlic, pepper and bay leaf. It is served in a deep plate with flour, sometimes with rice, orange, cabbage and sauce. Seafood dishes are also popular. In Rio, you can have breakfast for $2-4, lunch for $2-6, and dinner for $4-10. And this residential area in Rio is the most expensive in Brazil. The most expensive hotels are located in the South Zone (Zona Sul), which is located in close proximity to the beaches of Ipamena and Copacabana. More affordable options can be found near Flamengo and Catate. In January, hotels are completely full, because this is the month of the main vacation for Brazilians.
