in order to reach the summit of sugar loaf mountain it is necessary to take two the cable-cars, one of which runs to the summit of morro da urca which stands at 220 meters, before catching the second car which climbs to the top of sugar loaf's stunning heights.

cablecar departures are scheduled every 20 minutes so from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm - it costs r$53 for an adult and r$26 for children (under 12-years-old) for a return trip (prices are subject to change) - the length of the cable is 1,400 meters long, and throughout the journey the views are just amazing.
