Everyone who comes to Rio wants to visit Jesus. And while it is a majestic high level view of The Marvelous City, it is quite far away from the actual city. The view from Pão de Açúcar is actually much closer up and unique. There are trails that you can take to really get the whole panoramic of the city. Anyone who comes to Rio needs to do the Pão de Açúcar

Purchasing the tickets through Headout was convenient and easy. Professional company with quality service. I rated the experience as good, because of the time required to board cable cars on the return to ground level. The view from the highest peak was incredible, especially at sunset and night fall. However, the most entertaining section is the midway point, with a greater variety of eateries or snack choices and a live DJ set.

What a great visit - having the fast pass was wonderful... the little lounge at the beginning with bottled water included and then being at the front of every line was exceptionally convenient. The views are awesome, highly reommend

    It's the same view offered by Christ the Redeemer. The experience for those who end up in the middle of the cable car cabin isn't good; in fact, it's almost unbearable. Fewer people should be allowed in the cabins so that everyone can enjoy a good view.

    Went later afternoon, line lines were reasonable. By luck we found a wishing tree in the middle of the eastern elevated walkway at mid mountain. That was a treat.
