New Year´s Eve in Rio de Janeiro
During this true festival of peace, several millions of people come together each year on December 31, the vast majority dressed in white, to await the arrival of the New Year which is marked with a massive and unforgettable spectacle of fireworks displayed at midnight.

Thousands of offering of candlelight are thrown out into the surf to pay homage to it.
