Poa de Acucar!

It is from the top of Pao de Acucar that the true beauty of Rio de Janeiro is realised.  Like a storyboard all is laid out to see: the vast curve of Copacabana Beach, the curl, of Botafogo, the Santa Crus fort, Rio-Niteroi bridge, the many Favelas and the shimmering Lago Rodrigo de Freitas.  What enhances the experience even more is the manner in which you ascend to the peak.  Glassed in cable cars, glide and sway first to Unca Hill, providing us with stunning views of Botafogo and Guanabara bay and then to the top of Pao de Acucar to a vision difficult to forget.
