Copacabana beach is already gearing up for New Year! Saturday night saw the start of the spiritual celebrations with esoteric and Umbanda groups heading down to the beach to leave their offerings, say prayers and connect with their saints. Flowers and candles lit up the beach and the night air was full of anticipation. New Year is also about paying homage to Iemanja, Queen of the Sea and her image is set off to sea in beautiful hand crafted boats.
I will be telling you all about the incredibly special atmosphere here in Rio de Janeiro as the Cidade Maravilhosa welcomes in 2008 with its magical Réveillon celebrations.
What can you see in this picture?
