Description: The Sugar Loaf (Pão de Açúcar) is one of the most known postcards of Rio de Janeiro. It is actually a tourist park that involves two mountains - the hill of Urca and Pão de Açúcar - and two lifts that make the trip between the Red Beach and the two hills. This wonderful tourist spot is located in Urca, a quiet and safe neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro. The view of Sugar Loaf from above is one of the most beautiful that tourists can see in Rio, like the cove of Botafogo, the Guanabara Bay , Copacabana beach , the stone of Gavea , Cristo Redentor, the Tijuca Forest and the Santos Dumont Airport.
