However, this mountain is notable, not only for its natural beauty and prime positioning, but also because it is the foothold of the globally recognized statue called Christ The Redeemer.

Rising 396 m (1,299 ft) above the harbor, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar. It is known worldwide for its cableway and panoramic views of the city. The mountain is one of several monolithic granite and quartz mountains that rise straight from the water’s edge around Rio de Janeiro.
