About your trip

 $2199 USD/Per Person


Experience the magic of Rio in 8 days as we ring in the New Year surrounded by golden beaches, samba beats, and once-in-a-lifetime moments. From Christ the Redeemer to the colorful Selarón Steps, this trip takes you through Rio’s most iconic sights — with beachside sunsets, local food tours, and even a behind-the-scenes Carnival experience. Hike to epic viewpoints, dance at authentic samba nights, and celebrate New Year’s Eve the Brazilian way: on the beach, dressed in white, under a sky full of fireworks. With cooking classes, bar crawls, and boat days with drinks and music, this is a trip packed with culture, celebration, and connection. 


Why This Trip is Unforgettable:

  • The Ultimate NYE Celebration: Bring in 2026 on the famous Copacabana beach with hundreds of people and a jaw-dropping fireworks show.
  • Party like a Local: Dance the night away at one of Rio’s iconic NYE parties, dressed head-to-toe in all white.
  • Beach Days Done Right: Soak up the sun on world famous beaches like Ipanema and Copacabana.
  • Bucket-list Views: Take in breathtaking panoramas from Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain.
  • Hidden Gems & Local Flavor: Wander the colorful streets, taste the flavors of Rio on food tours, and sip caipirinhas in tucked-away bars on a bar crawl.
  • Stay in Style: Sleep in a trendy beachfront hostel located on the most famous beach in Brazil, Copacabana.
  • New Year, New Friends: Make unforgettable memories with a small group of fun, likeminded travelers.

Insurance

You MUST purchase insurance to come onto the trip!  


Flights

International flights to/from Brazil are NOT included! When booking your flights, I would recommend arriving to GIG Airport Suvarnabhumi Airport by 3pm on the first day of the trip so that you can attend the welcome dinner. Check out from the hostel is at 11am on the last day of the trip in Koh Samui, but luggage storage at the hostel is an option if you have a later flight!


Passport and Visa  

Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality. U.S. citizens are required to obtain a visa to enter Brazil. You can check the requirements and apply for an e-visa through the official Brazilian government portal. Make sure to check the updated visa requirements before booking your flights. It’s always a good idea to get your visa squared away well in advance to avoid any last-minute stress. As a reminder, we’re not responsible for arranging or covering visa fees, so please double-check all your travel documents to ensure a smooth journey. 


THIS TRIP IS OPEN TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE BUT YOU MUST BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD TO JOIN
