Vermelha Beach and Cable Car
The cable car to Sugar Loaf Mountain rises from Vermelha Beach in Urca. Sugarloaf mountain rises 1300 ft (400 m) above Guanabara Bay and provides splendid views of the city.
The Urca neighborhood is small and charming. Ticked between the Morro de Urca and Sugarloaf, the beach faces Guanabara Bay, always a scenic pleasure.
Take the cable car up to the hill, the Morro de Urca, to the first stop with its restaurant and amphitheater, then continue up the mountain.
The best time to go is late afternoon, where you can see the city by daylight and stay to watch the nighttime lights.
