If you’ve never been to Brazil you must understand that Brazil is simply an amazing country to visit, with all the wonders of nature in play. Needless to say, when you experience our New Years celebration in Salvador Bahia for the first time you’ll be totally blown away from the pure enjoyment and fresh excitement you’ll experience at Ondina Beach in Salvador before and after the clock turns 12 midnight December 31, 2012!

Remember, December is the start of summer in Brazil – so be prepared for some Hot Fun in the Summertime at the beach for us this New Years Eve!

Whenever we schedule our group and private tours to Salvador Bahia we always get as many Tuesday nights in our visit as possible. Simply stated Tuesday nights rock in Pelourinho! It is almost like experiencing a mini Carnival celebration every Tuesday in Pelourinho, especially during Brazil’s Spring and Summer months from December thru March. December in Salvador and Rio de Janeiro is a Dream coming true! During December in both Rio de Janeiro and Salvador the weather is warm to hot, always with a cool ocean breeze. The weather in Rio de Janeiro in December is similar to the weather we enjoy during the summer in Los Angeles, with Salvador slightly warmer given that the state of Bahia is closer to the equator, approximately a two hour flight northeast of Rio de Janeiro.  

Perhaps, the most compelling experience of being in Rio de Janeiro or Salvador Bahia is to witness native Brazilians preparing for Santa’s arrival from the North Pole, just like millions of North Americans do each holiday season – with the major difference being that our seasons are flip-flopped. So, on New Years Eve you’re out on the beach in the heat of the night watching fireworks shows that would compete with our Fourth of July celebrations. Yes, on New Years Eve in Salvador Bahia or Rio de Janeiro you’re outside partying on the beach with thousands of jubilant, peaceful, human beings that just want to have fun!

Experiencing New Years in Salvador for the first time was one of the most liberating experiences that I’ll probably ever experience again in my life. One New Years in Brazil and you’ll be hooked! I guarantee New Years in Brazil will always be my personal choice over being in, say, New York City in the winter cold watching that frozen ball covered in lights fall down as we count down the minutes before midnight. 

Included in our New Years in Bahia adventure package is the African Heritage City Tour and our visit to the Afro-Brazilian Museum. Salvador and the entire state of Bahia has a rich, vibrant, African cultural vibe that permeates every aspect of daily life in Bahia. Bahia the state is often referred to as the ‘Soul’ of Brazil.

While we encourage you to totally immerse yourself into to the many manifestations of the Afro-Brazilian experience in the state of Bahia, we also respect the fact that you might want to blaze your own path as you explore Salvador Bahia and beyond. Well, if this is your destiny on this trip then we totally support your wish to sail your own ship. This is why we price your trip to include only those activities that you really want to be an integral part of your daily vacation schedule. In other words, you’re always free to customize your travel experience when you travel with us and we’ll always support your every wish in this regard.
