Visiting Sugarloaf

Mountains surround the most popular beaches in Rio de Janeiro. On one side stands Mount Corcovado, most famous for its 30-foot tall statue of Christ the Redeemer overlooking the city. On the other side is Sugarloaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar).

Rising a quarter-mile into the air, Sugarloaf Mountain gives a birds-eye view of Guanabara Bay and the city of Rio. Sugarloaf Mountain is open year-round, but be sure to plan because the lines can get very long as it's one of the most popular spots in Rio. It gets hot later in the day, so be sure to climb it early or time your arrival for sunset.
