What is Sugar Loaf, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil?

Pão de Açúcar (Sugar Loaf Mountain) is a huge block of rock right at the entrance of Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. As Rio’s second most visited attraction, it is 396 metres high (1,328 feet)—almost half of the height of Corcovado summit where the Christ statue is placed.
