Sugarloaf Mountain is located at the mouth of Guanabara Bay which extends and meets the Atlantic Ocean. It is named so because it looks like concentrated loaf sugar. The cable car ride to the mountain and view of the city from the Sugarloaf Mountain makes this attraction popular among the tourists. Few adventure seekers hike or mountain climb to reach the peak. This attraction is a must visit in Rio de Jaeiro.
