After morning pickup from your Rio de Janeiro hotel, travel with your guide by air-conditioned minivan to Sugar Loaf Mountain (Po de A紼car), located on a peninsula overlooking Guanabara Bay. From Praia Vermelha at the base of the mountain, board a glass-enclosed cable car that makes a brief stop at Morro da Urca (Urca Hill) on the way up. Step out to capture panoramas of the city, the Rio-Niteroi Bridge, Guanabara Bay, and Corcovado Mountain in the distance with the Christ the Redeemer statue at its top.

Then, board another cable car to reach the 1,299-foot-high (396-meter) summit of Sugar Loaf for additional views including the beaches of Niteroi, the Santa Cruz Fortress, Botafogo Bay, Ipanema and the one-and-only Copacabana Beach. Take pleasure in the relative quiet as you stand as one of the first visitors of the day.

With this 走四方 Exclusive, your early visit to Sugar Loaf Mountain allows you to access the site before the majority of the public ─ no need to jostle your way around to get that perfect shot through the cable car. Whether the day is sunny or cloudy, you'll capture frame-worthy views of the metropolis and its beaches during approx. 90 minutes of peaceful city gazing before making the descent. Your tour ends with easy transport back to your hotel.
