Last year when I went to Rio de Janeiro for my first time<\/a>, I didn\u2019t have time to visit Pao de Acucar<\/a> which is commonly known as Sugarloaf Mountain. I\u2019m glad I got the chance to go this time around because it was one of the best attractions in Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n

I took a public bus to Urca where I got dropped off right in front of this beautiful monument.<\/p>\n

As you can see, Sugarloaf Mountain towers overs you from beneath with many street vendors selling drinks, snacks, and merchandise (Yes, you can take food and drink inside).<\/p>\n

The line was relatively short in the morning and that\u2019s the recommended time to come because you can literally spend half your day there. I heard it does get crowded around the afternoon and early evening when people want to see the sunset.<\/p>\n

The price for adult admission is R$62.00 ~ $24.95 USD, free for children under 5, R$31.00 ~ $12.48 USD for children ages 6-21, students, and seniors. All major forms of credit cards are accepted.<\/p>\n

The line moves relatively quick since the cable car has a huge capacity.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a video of the cable car going from the ground to the first mountain of Pao de Acucar.<\/p>\n
