Sugarloaf Mtn in Rio de Janeiro is one among the two attractions that each traveller to Brazil should visit. Known in Portuguese as Pao de Acucar, this enormous cone sized rock made of granite stands 395 meters over the ocean. On a clear day, you'll get beautiful vistas of the coast and high-rise apartments from Copacabana to Ipanema, across Guanabara Bay to Niteroi, the city, and also inland to the tropical forested mountain ranges which includes christ the redeemer sculpture on corcovado.

To reach the summit, you'll want to take a two stage aerial cable car that leaves from Praia Vermelha every 15 minutes and makes its initial stop at Morro da Urca. Urca offers nice views of the coastline and has outdoor bars, a restaurant and an amphitheater. There exists a wonderful paved nature pathway that is worth wandering to view the exotic plant life, wild birds and the occasional monkey.

The 2nd stage aerial cable car departs every 30 minutes from Urca and will take you to the peak of Sugar Loaf. From this point you'll get just about the most fantastic views of Rio de Janeiro apartments and beaches second only to those from Christ the Redeemer. You can easily stroll to several various levels and locations for a assortment of scenic vantage points. There's small Kiosks that serve soft drinks, ice cream as well as other snack foods.

Looking in the direction of Praia Vermelha there'll be 700 ft Morro do Leme that stands at the higher end of Copacabana Beach. On an additional afternoon take the nature trek up to the eighteenth century fortification and get pleasure from additional lovely vistas of Rio de Janeiro, Copacabana beaches and flats.

Be sure that you visit on a bright sun-drenched day to enjoy the best views. Weekdays are less congested than saturdays and sundays and it's really much better visited late afternoon so you can appreciate a great setting sun. Getting there is simple. Simply capture a taxi cab or board any bus which has the sign "Urca" on the front from your Copacabana or Ipanema apartment rental property.
