About Sugarloaf Mountain Cable Car® Park
Soar above the beaches of Rio with a ride up Sugarloaf Mountain. This world-famous peak combines natural beauty, history, and adventure—all in one scenic cable car journey.
Sugarloaf Mountain is 396 meters tall and named for its resemblance to traditional Portuguese sugar molds.
The cable car, known locally as “Bondinho,” was one of the first of its kind in the world and has been in operation for over a century.
The mountain is composed of granite and quartz and is over 600 million years old.
Sugarloaf is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of Rio de Janeiro.
The top has a café and several viewpoints, offering a relaxing experience post-climb or ride.
