Thanks for info!
Anyone familiar with Ilha Grande?
The spot seems to have amazing scenery and is close to Rio but I was wondering about the vibe during NYE. Is it more like wild beach party place or couples and western backpackers chilling?
It´s mainly couples and backpackers.
My suggestion for your trip would be:
Week before NYE:
Rio de Janeiro. Christmas is a family oriented holiday, and people stay home, so tourist spots (such as Ilha Grande or Guarapari) are empty and without much to do. In the other hand, in big cities like Rio, you may find crowded bar and parties to attend even in Christmas Eve.
NYE and week after:
* If you want to check Ilha Grande: Spend NYE in Rio (tons of all inclusive parties, tons of tourists from other parts of the country, very easy to make out and bang hot chicks) and then head to Ilha Grande in the week after to chill and enjoy nature.
* If not: Go to Buzios. It's a fancy beach town 2 hours from Rio. Also tons of parties and tourists to enjoy NYE, and also lots of wonderful beaches to chill and explore in the week after.
