Sugarloaf
4 shoudios
The geography of this sprawling city is unique. It is set between the South Atlantic and huge domes of granite, which afford breathtaking views of the ocean, Guanabara Bay, chic neighborhoods and shantytowns, and those oh-so-inviting beaches. The twin domes of Sugarloaf Mountain, accessed by cable car, provide 360-degree views of the city from two levels. The tour then visits Christ the Redeemer: perched atop Corcovado Mountain, the statue watches over the city. Below Christs outstretched arms you will have views of the entire city, including Sugarloaf. Finish your trip at the lesser-known hilltop community of Santa Teresa, reached by Rios last surviving streetcar. This is a favorite weekend hangout for locals, who come for the food and the samba. After lunch, enjoy the cool breezes and magnificent views as you sip your coffee and once again reach for your camera. Author: John Clites John Clites contracted the travel bug when a child and has never shaken it, having visited 49 of the 50 states and 26 countries. For the last 12 years he called South Florida home, before moving to Rio de Janeiro. He now lives in Ipanema. An amateur photographer and author for many years, John now writes professionally, but he never intends to let travel and exploration become more work than play.
