Description
A cable car ride to the top of Sugar Loaf mountain is one of the highlights of a trip to Rio de Janeiro. The big rocky peak that has become Rio's trademark drives its name from the fact that in the old days when Brazil was a Portuguese colony, sugar was sold in loaves shaped like the mountainous hump.
