| Description |
O morro do Pão de Açúcar é uma montanha sem vegetação em sua quase totalidade, sendo um bloco único de granito que sofreu alterações por pressão e temperatura, emergindo com o choque entre os continentes sul-americano e africano. Possui mais de 600 milhões de anos e 395 metros de altura. É circundado por um resquício de mata Atlântica. É um dos principais pontos turísticos da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, no Brasil. ____________________________________ Sugarloaf Mountain (in Portuguese, Pão de Açúcar), is a peak situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from the mouth of Guanabara Bay on a peninsula that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean. Rising 396 metres (1,299 ft) above sea-level, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar. However, it is believed by some that the name actually derives from Pau-nh-acuqua (“high hill”) in the Tupi-Guarani language, as used by the indigenous Tamoios. The mountain is only one of several monolithic morros of granite and quartz that rise straight from the water's edge around Rio de Janeiro. A glass-paneled cable car (in popular Portuguese, bondinho - more properly called teleférico), capable of holding 75 passengers, runs along a 1400-metre route between the peaks of Babilônia and Urca every half hour. The original cable car line was built in 1912. So familiar is this peak, the mere sight of it in a film is sufficient to establish the setting as Rio. |
