Rio de Janeiro, Brasil
December 29, 2026 – January 2, 2027
Fly into Galeão International Airport (GIG) and ring in 2027 on Copacabana Beach, one of the greatest New Year's Eve celebrations on the planet.
Two million people in white, fireworks launched from barges offshore, samba in the streets, the ocean at your feet at midnight. Over 5 days JetQuest takes you through Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Lapa's nightlife, Ipanema beach, and
the single most electric midnight moment in South America. There is nothing like Rio NYE.
Led by your dedicated trip host, this experience includes daily breakfast, curated excursions, and the NYE celebration — so all you have to do is show up in white and celebrate.
DO NOT miss out.
The culture is just a flight away.
