Do check how cloudy or clear Sugar Loaf Mountain is before heading out to see it.
Some locations offering views of Sugar Loaf to check for clouds or mist are:
– The rooftops of many hotels in Copacabana
– The top of Corcovado Mountain
– Dona Marta Overlook
– Anywhere on the right-half of Copacabana Beach (closer to Ipanema — see photo). (If you choose to stay at Sofitel or Orla Copacabana, for example, you may even see Sugar Loaf from your room.)
Don’t count on the weather forecast or luck; check these vantage points before your go visiting Sugar Loaf in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (the same advice is also valid for visiting Christ the Redeemer statue).
