Brazil 🇧🇷 , Rio de Janeiro, Sugarloaf Mountain

It rises above Guanabara Bay, reaching 396 m. It got its "sweet" name because of its similarity to a piece of sugar, which is extracted by manual production from local cane. Literally translated, the name of the mountain sounds like "sugar bread".

The Indians, who once lived at its foot, considered Sugar Loaf to be the guardian of the bay. There is almost no vegetation on it, as it is an igneous rock. But there are a lot of tourists who want to admire the beauty of Rio de Janeiro from the peak of one of the main attractions of the city

From the top of the Sugar Loaf, there are stunning views of Guanabara Bay and islands in the ocean, the Niteroi Bridge, a strip of famous Rio beaches and, most importantly, the statue of Christ on Mount Corcovado. Panoramas are so beautiful that they may seem unreal!

In the tropical forest of Urca, you can see a lot of interesting things — small cappuccino monkeys, exotic birds, huge breadfruit, reed thickets, etc.
