Sugar Loaf Mountain and Urca

Discover one of Rio’s most breathtaking landscapes on this iconic tour to Sugar Loaf Mountain (Pão de Açúcar). Start with a scenic walk through Praia Vermelha (Red Beach), nestled between lush green hills and the sparkling Guanabara Bay. Then, board the world-famous cable car, an engineering marvel dating back to 1912, and ascend to Morro da Urca (722 ft / 220 m), the first stop on our journey.

From there, continue to the summit of Sugar Loaf Mountain (1,299 ft / 396 m), where 360-degree panoramic views of Copacabana Beach, Christ the Redeemer, Guanabara Bay, and Niterói await. Capture stunning photos, explore the historical exhibits at the summit museum, and relax with a drink at one of the mountain-top cafes.

After descending, take a leisurely stroll through the charming Urca neighborhood, a tranquil seaside district known for its picturesque streets, historic fortresses, and local nightlife. At sunset, the waterfront becomes a favorite spot for locals to gather—a perfect way to experience Rio’s laid-back culture.

Ride the famous cable cars up Sugarloaf Mountain and witness Rio’s most stunning sunset over Guanabara Bay. This tour also includes a leisurely walk through Urca, one of Rio’s most charming neighborhoods, where you can stop for a drink at a classic waterfront bar before heading up the mountain.
