Ollantaytambo, Peru
Two-stage cable car ride to the summit of Sugar Loaf with panoramic bay views
Rio de Janeiro · Brazil
About this experience
A two-stage cable car takes you to a sheer rock summit with a panoramic view of the bay. There is a short break at the first station, and the second line carries you to the top. From up there the city's beaches, islands and distant mountain range sit in one frame; at sunset the light softens the view.
4 tours place this experience on their route. The walking is light. The cable car rises within minutes, though there may be some walking at the top. Sunset hours are busier. The wind can be cool up high, so bring a light top. Hand straps for cameras and phones lower the risk of drops.
