Rio de Janeiro from Sugarloaf Mountain, Brazil
The bubble-like cable cars that take visitors from the streets of Rio to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain offer 360-degree views of the city and Guanabara Bay as they make the three-minute climb. The first cableway to Sugarloaf opened in 1912, with cars made of wood. They were replaced in 1972 with the current system.
