Experience the thrill of a cable car ride to the top of Sugar loaf Mountain where the views of Rio de Janeiro and the Atlantic are spectacular. The tour begins with a drive through beautiful downtown Rio, passing by the Sambodrome, the Metropolitan Museum, Cinelândia square with its historical buildings, the Municipal Theater, the National Library and the National Museum of Fine Arts. Passing through the Aterro do Flamengo, the largest park in Rio de Janeiro and arrival in Urca, home of the famous Sugarloaf Mountain, one of the major symbols of the city. The visit to the top is made by two sets of cable cars, the first taking you to the top of Urca Hill which stands 215 meters high and overlooks Guanabara Bay and its many islands, the Rio-Niteró Bridge and Corcovado Hill, where you can see the statue of Christ the Redeemer keeping watch over the citizens of Rio. The second cable car journey takes you to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain where panoramic vistas await and you can view such sights as the famous Copacabana Beach. * Optional Tour: For the night, we suggest a visit to a Samba school getting ready for the very famous Rio Carnival. The visit includes dinner in a typical Brazilian grill house and takes place until one week before Carnival. It should be added to the circuit as an extra. Check with our local experts!
