Rio de Janeiro, half day Sugar Loaf, Copacabana and Ipaneme Beaches

You will be picked up at your hotel and taken to the neighborhood of Urca to visit the iconic Sugar Loaf Mountain. To ascend this dramatic peak you will take a cable car in two stages. The cabins are totally glassed-in to give you fantastic aerial views.

The first cable car takes you to Urca Hill, a vantage point 215 meters high. Here, there is a wide platform with trails in the middle of deep vegetation and observation posts located at different heights. You will see beautiful views of Guanabara Bay and its islands, the Rio-Niterói Bridge and Corcovado Mountain.

From Urca, a second cable car will take you right up to the top. This is also a marvelous ride with breath-taking views. At the summit – 395 meters (1283 feet) – you’ll enjoy splendid panoramas of Copacabana beach, the Santa Cruz fortress and several beaches of Niterói.

Completing the tour, visit the beaches of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon where we stop for pictures. Return to the hotel.
