Sugarloaf Mountain
- “Sugar Loaf Mountain stands on the left side of Rio's great balloon-shaped bay. Two cable cars carry visitors 1300 meters[sic] above both the city and Guanabara Bay. Once atop the mountain, visitors can get off at the lower vista and watch samba troupes perform at cliffside restaurants, or they can go all the way to the top. From that height the city spreads out below like a carpet of lights. The granite mountain got its name from Portuguese sailors who swore it resembled the cone-shaped loaves of sugar processed from Brazilian sugar cane.”
- —Pamphlet,Mario is Missing!
Sugarloaf Mountain (in Portuguese:Pão de Açúcar) is a peak at the bay ofRio de Janeiro, Brazil.
