About This Attraction

Rio de Janeiro Brazil

Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro is a prominent peak rising 396 meters above the harbor. It is renowned for its distinctive shape and offers breathtaking views of the city and coastline. Visitors can reach the summit via a two-stage cable car, known as the bondinho, which provides a unique vantage point of the surrounding landscape.

The mountain is open to visitors every day, with Sugarloaf Mountain opening hours typically starting at 8:00 AM and closing at 9:00 PM. This makes it accessible for both early birds and those who prefer evening visits. Its important to note that the cable cars run continuously during these hours, ensuring minimal wait times for guests.
