After exploring downtown, the tour continues through the Flamengo neighborhood, home to another iconic symbol of Rio de Janeiro: Sugarloaf Mountain, the place where the city was founded in 1565. The visit is done in two exciting stages, traveling in the famous "bondinho" (cable car) suspended by steel cables.
