The Sugar Loaf ("Pão de Açucar") has a great view of the Botafogo Bay, Copacabana and Ipanema, but if you can't afford the bondinho (the teleferic) that goes up there and costs R$ 44, you can do a trail do the first hill, Morro da Urca, . Unfortunately, it's not possible to buy a ticket from Urca to the Sugar Loaf, so if you go walking to Urca, that's the highest you would get.
Anyway, Morro da Urca has also a great view, that includes Leme, Botafogo, Niteroi, and much more, some bars and sometimes even live music! The good news, is that if you go late in the afternoon, to see the sunset, after certain time, you can go down for free in the bondinho.
The trail starts very near to Praia Vermelha, at "Pista de Claudio Cotinho", and the gate to the trail closes at 5 pm.
Enjoy the walk!
