Passing by some of Rio's beaches and by Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon and proceeding as far as Cosme Velho Station to board a cog-train for the ride through Tijuca Forest up Corcovado Mountain. The train ride takes 20 minutes and is a wonderful opportunity for a closer look to the forest's lush tropical vegetation and to enjoy scenic landscapes of the beaches and city. After appreciating the breathtaking view unfolding below, you will descend by train and proceeding along Rio's beaches as far as Urca District to board a cable car for a two-staged ascent up Sugar Loaf Mountain.
Rising 396 meters (1, 299 ft) above the harbor, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar.
Many times visitors can watch rock climbers on Sugarloaf. Visitors can see excellent views of Rio de Janeiro from the top of the mountain and sunsets.
** if the queue to take the train are very long we can also go up by car. |
