Rio de Janeiro · SUGARLOAF MOUNTAIN EXPERIENCES
30 tours
Two cable cars, one of the great city views on earth, and a queue that behaves very differently at eleven than it does at five.

“Another review mentioned this but prepare for a lack of organization, and running late. No meetup times or meetup places were set in the group, it was a free-for-all. Very little information given about anything on the tour. Our guide still had to go and secure tickets at each location and we did not get the express line at Sugarloaf as advertised. It was a little unclear whether or not we got any express treatment at Christ the Reedemer. The transportation was comfortable and our guide was friendly and spoke pretty good English. I would say unless you are the type of person that struggles to figure things out on…”

“It is a shame that I have to give them one star at all. Be warned this is advertised as a city tour with several stops. Once in the bus you will notice 19 seats for customers. 7 of them you can’t see out the window. The last two rows are above the windows and the other seats. You have to try and bend over and really contort your body to see out of the bus. You have no control over what seats you pick because it is based on when they pick people up. If you are closer to the excursion, you will be picked up last and have…”
Climb Sugarloaf Mountain with expert rock instructors, tackle a 15m east-face ascent, then ride the cable car for Rio’s top views.
“The hike was no joke — definitely not for the faint-hearted — but Igor stayed calm, supportive, and made the whole journey feel safe. Once you find your rhythm on the trail, it becomes more manageable mentally. The rope climbing section was the highlight for me — being harnessed in Lol. Highly, highly recommend this to anyone looking for something different and genuinely rewarding. Way more than just a touristy activity — this was the real deal.”
