A jóia turística da Cidade Maravilhosa

De frente para a Baía de Guanabara, no Rio de Janeiro, está o monte Pão de Açúcar, que desde o século XIX atrai pessoas que se aventuram para ver uma das mais belas paisagens do mundo.

Para facilitar o acesso até o alto do monte, em 1908 o engenheiro brasileiro Augusto Ferreira Ramos idealiza a construção de um teleférico. A idéia era contruir três linhas, uma ligando a Praia Vermelha ao alto do Morro da Urca, o monte mais baixo ao lado do Pão de Açúcar; outra linha entre os cumes do morro da Urca e o Pão de Açúcar; e também uma linha ligando o alto do morro da Urca ao alto do morro da Babilônia, mas essa última linha não foi construída. O teleférico foi inaugurado em 27 de outubro de 1912, e foi apelidado de "bondinho do Pão de Açúcar". Ele foi o primeiro teleférico no Brasil e o terceiro no mundo. A construção do bondinho mostrou o desenvolvimento da cidade durante essa época, quando o Rio de Janeiro era a capital do país.

O bondinho do Pão de Açúcar é considerado um dos teleféricos mais seguros do mundo segundo entidades internacionais de teleféricos de passageiros, e durante seus mais de 90 anos de funcionamento nunca ocorreu nenhum acidente com vítimas.

Para quem prefere um pouco mais de adrenalina, existe a possibilidade de uma caminhada por uma trilha, ou ainda mais radical, fazendo montanhismo. Há 60 vias possíveis para realizar escaladas.

O monte Pão de Açúcar é uma jóia do Rio de Janeiro, sua vegetação é ainda conservada, uma vegetação de clima tropical com resquícios de Mata Atlântica. No Pão de Açúcar existem espécies nativas que já estão existintas em todo o Brasil, além de espécies como a orquídea "Laelia lobata", uma planta rara que só floresce em dois locais do mundo - no morro do Pão de Açúcar e na Pedra da Gávea, também no Rio de Janeiro. E ao redor de tanta riqueza natural é possível ver do alto do monte um lindo panorâmico da cidade do Rio, com o o esplendor do litoral de um lado, e da Serra do Mar do outro.

The Touristic Jewel of a Wonderful City

Facing the Guanabara Bay in Rio de Janeiro is the Sugar Loaf Hill, which since the nineteenth century, attracts people who venture to see one of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.

To facilitate access to the top of the hill, in 1908, the Brazilian engineer Augusto Ferreira Ramos envisioned the construction of a cable car. The idea was to build three lines - one linking the Red Beach to the top of Urca Hill (the lower hill next to the Sugar Loaf), another line between the top of the Urca Hill and Sugar Loaf Hill, and a line connecting the Urca Hill to the top of the Babylon Hill. The last line was not built. The cable car was inaugurated on October 27, 1912 and was nicknamed "Sugar Loaf tram." It was the first cable car in Brazil and the third in the world. The construction of the tram showed the development of the city during this time when Rio de Janeiro was the capital of the country.

The Sugar Loaf tram is considered one of the safest cable cars in the world according to International Entities of Cable Cars for Passengers, and during more than ninety years of operation, has never had any accident with victims.

For those who prefer a little more adrenaline, there is the possibility of a hike, or even more radical, mountaineering. There are sixty possible ways to accomplish climbing.

Sugar Loaf Hill is a jewel of Rio de Janeiro. Its vegetation is still preserved - tropical vegetation with remnants of Atlantic rainforest. In the Sugar Loaf, there are native species that are already extinct throughout B [...]
