You can see many interesting sites from Urca Hill in Rio.
Urca Hill is the intermediary hill to Sugar Loaf. From Urca Hill at 220 meters (720 feet), you can have a similar view to the one you have from Sugar Loaf. However, from Urca Hill you can’t see Copacabana Beach, which is the only major attraction that can be seen from Sugar Loaf and not from Urca Hill. The only way to see Copacabana Beach is by taking the second cable car to reach the top of Sugar Loaf, which is 396 meters (1300 feet) above sea level.
