Sugarloaf Mountain

About Sugarloaf Mountain

  • Close Panel 

Sugarloaf Mountain (or Pao de Acucar) is a large granite cone that sits in the entrance of Guanabara Bay. A visit here is a must on any itinerary. Two cable cars ascend first to Morro da Urca at 220m where there is a restaurant and a childrens play area. The second cable car then climbs to the top of Pao de Acucarãçú at 396m with spectacular views on a clear day of Corcovado Mountain and Copacabana Beach.

  • All arrangements made by Tribes were excellent and any problems were at a local level

  • Level would have been 'excellent' if it had not been for the less than satisifactory elements mentioned below.

  • Complicated itinerary but all transfers went according to plan including meeting up with our son for the last week. A memorable holiday.

  • The three locations we had chosen were all brilliant. Travel between them turned out to be completely stress-free.

  • Everything ran very smoothly from visiting the locations, hotels, to the pick ups and the guides.
