From Copacabana you can see the Sugarloaf and Corcovado Mountain. That’s the one with the vast art Deco statue of Jesus on top, Christ the Redeemer. The Sugarloaf rises above the city, a dramatic ancient volcanic plug of hard rock towering high. From the Sugarloaf you get fantastic bird's eye views of Rio, from Copacabana to Corcovado, complete with spectacular sunsets.

This is perfect for a hot day, at ten degrees or so cooler than the rest of the city.
