Now it's time for one of the major highlights of a trip to Rio, the journey up Sugar Loaf. This famous mountain is reached by cable car at a height of 1,200 feet. Looking down on the city from Sugar Loaf, you'll see one of the most spectacular views in the world. This is an experience you'll never forget!
Your tour continues to the world famous statue of Christ the Redeemer on the Corcovado mountain.

You'll reach the monument aboard the cogwheel railway, climbing 2,400 feet up the mountain into the Tijuca Forest National Park. From this point, you'll enjoy one of the most magnificent panoramic views in the world.
