Over a million tourists every year visit the world famous Pão de Açúcar (Sugar Loaf Mountain), which has become an iconic symbol of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Rising up from a small peninsula at the entrance of Guanabara Bay, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined sugar loaf.
The first cable car will take us to the top of Urca Hill, which rises 215 meters above sea level and will offer us spectacular views of the entire bay and its islands. From there, we will continue on a second cable car to the top of Sugar Loaf, standing 395 meters above sea level, where we will enjoy a stunning 360-degree view of the entire city, including Botafogo and Copacabana Beaches, Corcovado, and downtown Rio.
