2.Sugarloaf Mountain
The Sugarloaf Mountain is a peak situated in Rio de Janeiro at the mouth of the Guanabara Bay on a peninsula that stucks out into the Atlantic Ocean and rises 396 meters (1,299 ft) above the harbor. Its name comes from a reference to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar. To reach its peak, passengers have to take two cable cars. The first cable car ascends to Morro da Urca which is 220 m high and the second one takes you to the Pão de Açúcar (name in Portugues for the loaf). There is also several extra activities offered t you in the loaf, you can rock climb and take helicopter rides of the whole city. If that wasn't enough, you can even feed little monkeys found wandering around the loaf.
