This is the first hill up on the way to Rio's famous Sugar Loaf. It offers it's own marvelous view from the top (215 meters) but its base is also a good place for hiking.

God, what a beautiful place !!! There could be no other expression to say what we feel when we visit Morro da Urca, located in the Marvelous City of Rio de Janeiro. You know that URCA means - Urbanization Carioca. This has to do with the Engineering and Earthmoving and Urbanization Company that at the time carried out with the residues of the Morro do Castelo deforestation, in which much of that removed soil was taken and placed there surrounding the sugar loaf and Morro daurca. It really is very beautiful, different and one of the most complementary views of the Sugar Loaf. (In time: it is called Pão de Sçucar because in the years of colonization, the sugar was dark - not refined - and it was packed in containers that when uninformed, let him with that same drawing of the Urca Stone. an enormous and huge basalt located at the entrance of the Guanabara Bay, an impressive natural view that exists in Rio de Janeiro and is recognized anywhere in the world.It draws attention to the details and intelligence of the engineering work that demonstrates how much human ingenuity can perform It is one of the most beautiful postcards in the world and I am sure you will remember this testimony when you visit it.Go, visit, photograph, walk, breathe and feel the unique landscape of this place.And from above, shout out loud: Long live Mother Nature !!!

Most Cariocas don't live like they do in the center and this tour gives you the chance to visit a favela, with a locally famous artist, in relative safety. You will see the very good and the very bad and get a realistic picture of the life of some poorer Cariocas. The Projecto has a really interesting story that improbably launched its young creators into the Venice Bienniale and National Geographic documentaries. The views of sugar loaf from the favela are as good as anywhere in the city. It only takes 2-3 hours and leaves from the delightful Santa Teresa neighborhood.
