SugarLoaf hike is an exciting way to reach the summit and enjoy the views while combining hiking and rock climbing!
SugarLoaf Natural Monument, one of Rio's most famous icons, consists of two hills. The higher one is the Sugar Loaf (396m / 1030ft), and the lower is Urca Hill (220m / 722ft).
The Costao Trail, which takes us to the top of SugarLoaf, requires a quick climb (15m / 49ft), considered easy by the experienced and indicated for beginners. All safety equipment are included!
The view of Copacabana Beach, Urca district, Guanabara Bay, Cristo Redentor and surroundings, is priceless.
Enjoy the Cable Car ride on the way down to the Urca Hill (1st part – included) and then a short and easy trail back to the beach.
You can schedule the Sugar Loaf hike in the morning (7am – everyday) or early afternoon (1pm – weekdays – except local holidays).
