This is a nice attraction but it is hard to believe it is number 1 in Rio. Yes, the view is excellent as long as it is a clear day. On a hazy or polluted day it is not so sparkling. And remember, part of what you are seeing are Rio's favelas which make you realize that for what you spent you could actually help the people who are so desperately poor. It really does help get you oriented to the lay out of Rio. Oh, they most definitely take mastercard.
As someone who was born in Rio de Janeiro and is now living in Michigan, I would say... I MISS THAT VIEW!!!
For me, it's the perfect view - you have eveyting there... the mix of mountains, valleys,and beaches is quite breathtaking.... take your camera, hope for a non-cloudy skyand you won't regret...
My dream was to be up the Sugar Loaf at sunset. Considering it had been a cloudy day, I was certainly not disappointed. The whisps of clouds rolled in and out, at times shrouding the Sugar Loaf as they blew across. Due to the clouds you could not see the actual sun setting, but the sky and cloud colouring said it all. It was spectacular and I am glad that I have a digital camera and was able to click away. I know have what I consider to be picture perfect postcard photos - the type I had always seen in stores.
A note to anyone planning to go to the Sugar Loaf: bring cash or Visa debit card because those are the only options for purchasing tickets.
And yes, the view is spectacular, especially if you're lucky enough to time your visit so you can see the sunset.
Ok...Just to start off...This place is by far the most spectacular geographical destination I have ever visited. You have a mixture of mountains, valleys, beaches, heat, fog...It's amazing. The ride up to the Sugar Loaf is exhilirating...You dangle in that glass capsule and feel like you're soaring to the top of the mountain. Once you make it to the top, the views are breath-taking. You can see the Corcovado and the Christ, you see Copacabane Beach...This was the most spectacular part of my trip. Loved it!...Couldn't imagine my trip without it.
