By car:
There’s a “Vaga Certa” system on site for parking your car upon arrival. There is no way of going up by car.
By cable car (bondinho):
A first cable car is taken to Morro da Urca, 220 meters high. Then a second cable car will bring you to Pão de Açúcar (“Sugarloaf Mountain” in English). It is also possible to go by foot from Praia vermelha to Morro da Urca and then take the cable car to Pão de Açúcar.
By foot + cable car:
To go on a pleasant short nature trail, you will need to find the entrance at Praia Vermelha (the red beach), which is next to where the cable car leaves from. On the left side of the beach begins the Trail Claudio Coutinho. It is a paved footpath along the sea, about 2 km long. Enter it, you’ll see then a small, narrow footpath - that’s the one you will need.
