What you can expect

  • Discover Rio de Janeiro from an extraordinary perspective!

    Step aboard our iconic cable car and set out on a journey filled with breathtaking scenery. Linking Urca Hill and the famous Sugarloaf Mountain, this ride offers a front-row seat to the perfect blend of nature and city views.

    First Stop: Urca Hill (215m)
    Your adventure begins with the ascent to Urca Hill, where sweeping views of Guanabara Bay, the Rio-Niterói Bridge, and the world-famous Christ the Redeemer await. It’s the perfect opening chapter to the story of the Marvelous City.

    Final Stop: Sugarloaf Mountain (395m)
    From here, a second cable car carries you even higher, to the summit of the legendary Sugarloaf. The panorama unfolds in every direction—Copacabana’s golden sands, the historic Santa Cruz Fortress, and the inviting beaches of Niterói. This is the kind of view that stays with you forever.

    Make the most of your visit by Upgrading to our Express Pass and skip the lines, so you can spend more time enjoying the experience and less time waiting.
