I went for Bond, I saw the planes fly by.
Rio’s Sugarloaf is emblazoned on my memory for the harrowing scene in James Bond film Moonraker and it was a thrill to ride up.
I did not expect that it is a plane spotter’s feast, with a breathtaking view of Santos Dumont Airport, the planes on takeoff passing behind the peak.
For those more terrestrially-focused, watch for the little critters darting around the trees.








You had fantastic weather!
I was there a month ago. It is my hometown.
If you need any help, let me know.
Enjoy!

Do you know what that animal is?
@Nick O – I just researched it, this page has good info, the animal is a marmoset.
Wow! Amazing view!
Did you see any large steel-mouthed men or small German women?
@Larry – I was really hoping!
I want to go to Brazil now!
