| Rio de Janeiro is a city dominated by mountains. From the Sugarloaf summit, Copacabana is the long, circular beach on the left, with Ipanema the next beach over to the south, away from Sugarloaf. |
| The same photo reversed, from Copacabana Beach towards Sugarloaf and its summit on the far right. |
| Corcovado is Rio's tallest mountain, with its statue of Christ the Redeemer looking down upon the city. |
| The statue, built in 1931, is Rio's symbol. It can be difficult to photograph from the narrow summit of Corcovado. |
| Near dusk, a panorama of Rio de Janeiro and Sugarloaf from the Corcovado summit, which is reached by a 20 minute train ride up the steep slope. Access to Sugarloaf is from a more dramatic pair of aerial cable cars. |
| Sugarloaf is ready for its close-up. |
