One of the best-known attractions is Brazil; the Sugarloaf Cable Car caters to millions of visitors each year. The ride has two parts, the first part takes you from Praia Vermelha (Red Beach) to Morro da Urca (Urca Hill) and the second part takes you from Morro da Urca to Sugarloaf Mountain. The Sugarloaf cable car is considered one of the safest in the world and travels at a speed of 20-30 kmph. Each cable car has the capacity to hold up to 65 passengers. The view from these cars is breath-taking as it offers a 360-degree panorama of the entire city. The pit-stops are attractions in themselves, however the ride is a fascinating one and an absolute must do for everyone who visits Rio.
