Sugar Bread in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

“Sugar Bread” is not the right name of the famous hill located in Rio de Janeiro; the right name is “Sugar Loaf”. Of course, you can call it Sugar Bread, but in Rio de Janeiro everyone says “Sugar Loaf”, when speaking in English. In Brazilian Portuguese, we say “Pão de Açúcar” — pão for “bread, or loaf” and “açúcar” for sugar.

Another thing is that it is not really a mountain, but a hill.
