The Sugarloaf Cable Car in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is an iconic attraction that offers breathtaking views of the city and its natural surroundings. Established in 1912, it connects Praia Vermelha to the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain, with a stop at Morro da Urca along the way. The cable car ride provides panoramic vistas of Guanabara Bay, Copacabana Beach, and the Christ the Redeemer statue. The journey is divided into two stages: the first takes passengers to Morro da Urca, and the second ascends to the peak of Sugarloaf Mountain, standing at 396 meters above sea level.
