Itinerary
5 days · Dec 29 , Jan 3
Day 1· Tue, Dec 29
Arrive at Galeão International Airport (GIG) and step into Rio de Janeiro as the city builds toward the biggest New Year's Eve on the planet. Settle in near the coast, then gather with the group for the Mastermind Dinner to open the trip.
Day 2· Wed, Dec 30
The icons. Take in Christ the Redeemer above the city and ride to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain for views over Rio, the bay, and the beaches. A full day of the sights that define the city, capped by a group dinner.
Day 3· Thu, Dec 31
Beach day on Ipanema, then into Lapa for the nightlife Rio is famous for. The day moves from sand to samba as the city's energy climbs toward midnight.
Day 4 (NYE)· Fri, Jan 1
The reason you came. Two million people dressed in white on Copacabana Beach, fireworks launched from barges offshore, and the single most electric midnight in South America. All you have to do is show up in white and celebrate, JetQuest handles the rest.
Day 5· Sat, Jan 2
Ring in the first day of the new year, then breakfast and departures. You leave Rio having started the year somewhere most people only dream about, and with the people you rang it in beside.
Where you'll stay
Steps from the beach, in the heart of where NYE in Rio actually happens.
