Especially for those who are already tired of looking at stable New Year congratulations with the participation of the same actors, on drifts and salad "Olivier", exotic countries offer a qualitatively new entertainment program. According to statistics, depending on the level of income, citizens on New Year's holidays often plan to leave for warmer areas, starting from Turkey, continuing to Thailand and ending with Brazil.

Traditions of celebrating

Do not forget that Brazil is in the other hemisphere, which makes it even more unusual for the New Year. And if everything goes this year as usual, then December 31 in the country will be the height of summer. Nevertheless, this does not prevent local authorities and residents from installing numerous artificial Christmas trees, which often decorate the facades of commercial buildings and even government offices.

And the largest artificial spruce is planted in Rio de Janeiro, right on the water of a local lake. There are legends that not so long ago it was designed by Brazilian engineers who saw live snow and a real Christmas tree. But the degree of its similarity to the original is already appreciated only for newly arrived tourists.

To be completely frank, the New Year in Brazil actually has a slightly different character.

In any case, this is the historical background of the action. With which, by the way, it is not superfluous to get acquainted at least superficially, just a little to realize what all these Brazilians are doing around. And they, meanwhile, will carry white flowers and yellow candles to the water. Candles are allowed to sail, flowers are simply thrown on the water surface.

It is worth noting that the entire process of the New Year's celebration begins around 6 pm local time and continues until midnight, when a grand pyrotechnic show is launched as a culmination.

Where to celebrate New Year's Eve

In general, the most large-scale celebrations take place on one of the most popular beaches in Copacabana, on the south coast of Rio. On the eve of the holiday on the beach is about three million people: someone with candles and flowers, someone just to see, tourists and pickpockets - all meet in one place on the beach. Naturally, the whole procession sometimes begins to plunge into chaos and turn into a pandemonium.

For particularly aesthetic pedants who are not used to getting confused among all the others, numerous hotels and themed clubs offer their own private parties.

Culmination razdnika

However, among people on the beach it is often quite fun, because without carnival, no decent holiday passes, then the beach holiday program for the New Year on Copacabana is quite stressful . After all the flowers are thrown and the candles are lowered to water, the crowd starts to read aloud the last seconds before the New Year . Most likely, this is due to the fact that there is no Kremlin on the beach and the clock with chimes . After the incendiary fireworks, unrestrained fun and carnival begins, in this connection a few milli the person on the beach starts to move actively, so that until the last Brazilian falls fatigued, it's unlikely that the holiday will be able to leave .

So, the New Year in Brazil, although it requires material sacrifices, will leave a lot of impressions. And atypical landscapes around and communication with people living in another terrestrial hemisphere surely will properly cheer up the man in the street who has already become accustomed to the gray working days at home and boring faces of his compatriots
