Our adventure up Sugarloaf Mountain was nothing short of spectacular! Instead of taking the gondola up, we decided to hike, and let me tell you—it was challenging, but so worth it. The trail was steep in parts, but it offered incredible views of Rio and the coastline that made every step feel like an accomplishment. By the time we reached the summit, we were completely in awe. The panoramic views were just breathtaking, stretching out over the city and the ocean in a way that felt almost surreal. We spent some time just soaking it all in before taking the iconic gondola down, which was the perfect way to end the day—relaxing and taking in even more of those amazing views. Sugarloaf Mountain is an absolute must if you’re in Rio—the combination of the hike up and the gondola ride down gives you the best of both worlds: adventure and relaxation, all wrapped up in one unforgettable experience.
