There are several reasons to visit Sugar Loaf Mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Some of the good reasons are:
– It is Rio’s second landmark
– Breathtaking views of the city (the main reason to visit Sugar Loaf)
– Impressive granite block that is thought to be 560 million years old
– National Heritage since 1973
– You won’t be disappointed (although that happens when visiting other landmarks around the world)
A better question is, “Why NOT visit Sugar Loaf?” Very few tourists in Rio skip the visit to Sugar Loaf. People who do skip do so because they are scared to death of taking cable cars! Apart from that, there is no reason not to visit Sugar Loaf.
