Sugarloaf and Tijuca Forest




Everyone has heard of Sugarloaf, the rock that sits at the mouth of Rio's harbor. Today we took a cable car to the top (the cable car will be 100 years old later in 2012). Then we went to part of Rio's inner city park system (covering 20 square miles at the top of the mountains - in between which is the city). The Tijuca Forest has beautifully maintained trails, steeply winding roads, and lots of streams and waterfalls.
