It’s not surprising that Sugarloaf Mountain is one of the top tourist attractions in Rio de Janeiro. Conveniently situated in the Urca district, the Sugarloaf and Urca hills host a grand collection of tropical wildlife and vegetation, contributing to the exquisite natural scenery.

The excitement of journeying to Sugarloaf Mountain starts long before you reach its peak, at 396 meters above sea level. The adventure commences with an encapsulating cable car experience, offering a unique perspective of the flawless topography of Rio. The first halt is at Urca Hill, 220 meters above sea level. From this vantage point, you get to see both Guanabara Bay and Botafogo Bay. The second and final stop offers a panoramic view that, apart from the bay, showcases a major part of the South Zone’s coastline and Niterói.

Not only do we provide a trip to Sugarloaf Mountain, but we also offer a scenic tour of some of the most captivating beaches in Rio de Janeiro.
