Insider tips
- ★Arrive early at Sugarloaf to claim prime sunset-viewing spots on the terrace before crowds peak during the final hour before dusk
- ★The Selarón Steps are best photographed in soft afternoon light; the artist's personal items are on display nearby—ask locals about the story
- ★Bring a light layer; mountain-top winds and altitude can feel cooler than downtown Rio, even in warm months
- ★Download offline maps or note your hotel location—cable car operations and traffic near Christ the Redeemer can cause unpredictable delays
