Discovering Sugar Loaf Mountain
The mountain is one of the most famous in the world and is a spectacular backdrop to Brazil's most lively city. Shaped like a Victorian sugar loaf, rising 1300ft above the harbour.The famed cable cars, which were introduced by the engineer Augusto Ferreira Ramos in 1912, transport visitors to the top of the mountain, against a back drop of sheer vertical cliffs.
