Do you know the cable car at Pão de Açúcar?

The Pão de Açúcar Cable Car is one of the main attractions for those visiting Rio de Janeiro – and it is not for less:

from there, the view of the city is a must, and includes Christ the Redeemer, Guanabara Bay and the beaches.

Anyway, everything that gives Rio the title of a wonderful city.

Built in 1912, the “Bondinho” has that name because, at the time it was opened, the cable car looked the same as the tram that circulated through the city streets.

Above all, today, Pão de Açúcar cable car is a modern tourist complex and one of the advantages of this is that the ticket for the attraction can be purchased online,

which avoids queues and optimizes the tour day.

Furthermore, it is not enough to ascend to Christ the Redeemer. Pão de Açúcar is your complementary sight. In addition to enjoying Guanabara Bay from the opposite angle

(and with Christ himself in the background), you still practically have an aerial view over Copacabana.

The Sugarloaf Mountain is closer than the Christ to the hotels in the South Zone, and the climb up the cable car is practically worth the trip.

By the way, the name ‘cable car’ is a mistake perpetuated in the form of a nickname. Technically, it is a cable car

(a means of air transport supported by cables).

However, as the first cars on the cable car, opened in 1912, looked like the city trams, the name ‘cable car’ ended up catching on.

The original cable cars were active until 1972, when they were replaced by a second generation, already with glassed-in cars.

Above all, in 2008 the third generation of cable cars started operating,

now with smoked glass and ventilation system (no, it doesn’t have air conditioning yet).

In addition, there are two twinned mountains: Morro da Urca and Pão de Açúcar itself.

The journey to the top is done in two stages: the first, from Praia Vermelha to Morro da Urca;

the second, from Morro da Urca to Pão de Açúcar.

Now imagine seeing it all over the top?
