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.
