Cana­di­ans like pets, and in res­i­den­tial neigh­bour­hoods it’s com­mon to see peo­ple walk­ing their dogs after an early diner, no mat­ter the weather.
How­ever, unlike French, Cana­di­ans are well-behaved and they pick up after their dogs—streets here are not dot­ted with dog poop.

View From The Sugar Loaf

View From The Sugar Loaf

The iconic Sugar Loaf is the best spot in Rio for the thrill of the cable-car ride, for the small hikes on top of the Urca moun­tain, for the views over Rio and for the sun­sets. Lucky us, we got it all!

See­ing all of Rio start­ing to light up beneath us was one of my best expe­ri­ence in the city.

    @Bluefish — I was amazed at how clear they turned up!

    @Tulsa Gen­tle­man — You can´t climb — not that I know of any­way. There are actu­ally two moun­tains: Urca, the first one, and the Sugar Loaf. In Urca, the first cable car stop, you can walk around quite a lot, going up and down. But on the Sugar Loaf, there aren´t many paths.

    @RennyBA — I think I sang too :lol:

    @Scarlet — We were lucky to be there on a clear day!

    @beaverboosh — Lucky you! So you know how great it is.

    @shionge — I loved it!

    Ahhh another won­der­ful loca­tion and your pho­tographs are breath­tak­ingly beau­ti­ful. You even got to go up Sugar Loaf Moun­tain at night, to see Rio in lights. I can’t believe that you didn’t let me squeeze in your suit­case and join you on your vacation..lol xxx

    The views from Sugar Loaf to Cor­co­v­ada Moun­tain are amaz­ing, and the jour­ney up in the cable car is fun too. Ahhhh I wish I was back there now…
