Sugarloaf Cable Car Tickets Overview
About Sugarloaf Cable Car:
The Sugarloaf Cable Car is one of those experiences that makes you pause, look around, and quietly say, 'Wow.' Set in the heart of Rio de Janeiro, this iconic cable car ride takes you soaring above the city, offering views that feel straight out of a postcard. The journey happens in two smooth stages. First, the cable car glides from the base near Praia Vermelha to Morro da Urca, where you already get sweeping views of the bay, boats floating below, and the city stretching into the distance. From here, the second ride lifts you even higher to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain, where Rio reveals itself in all its glory — golden beaches, lush green hills, the Atlantic Ocean, and the famous skyline all in one frame. The cabins are fully enclosed, making the ride comfortable and safe for all age groups. At the top, there’s time to walk around, take photos, relax at viewing decks, or simply enjoy the breeze while watching the city from above. Sunset hours are especially magical, as Rio slowly lights up beneath you. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, the Sugarloaf Cable Car offers a calm, unforgettable way to truly see Rio.
