Yesterday we went to visit Sugarloaf Mountain, everything was going well until 4:30 PM, then from one second to the next a windstorm hit us! At 400 meters high!! All of Rio was in chaos! No information, no assistance, no communication, we all took refuge in some kind of tunnel for 4 hours!!! How can a place that only has a cable car for evacuation not take the day's weather into consideration???!!!! It is shameful to endanger people, children, and babies without any scruples!! The next day we learned in the local newspapers that the storm had been forecast! How could they not have closed access to the cable cars??!! It is truly a disgrace 😖😖😡😡🤬🤬

It is always better to use the official purchasing site. However, Rio Janeiro Pao Açucar site doesn't allow me to buy tickets with my credit cards, so tried this trip advisor thing. The day for the tickets was completely closed with fog, impossible to see the mountain until you were close as few meters. For the Cristo Redentor, I was able to reschedule due this weather issue, because I bought tickets in the official site. When I tried to do the same asking in tripadvisor support link to help me rescheduling, I never got any miserable reply... The message is clear: sales are final, period. I never again will use other than official site. If no possible due credit card limitations, I should have tried with some other ways, like buying locally just at arrival, or asking any Brazilian acquittance to buy for me the tickets with Brazilian card, etc. anything is good but using tripadvisor is too risky to lose the whole money as I did unfortunately due weather conditions.

Definitely worth having skip the queue as it’s super busy, you don’t need to print your ticket just have it on your phone go to priority lane and the scan the bar code at the kiosk.
Hi! We appreciate your feedback! It's great to know that the priority entry and digital ticketing made your visit easier. We look forward to seeing you again! 😊 Hugs, Karine.
The cable car experience was amazing BUT getting through trip advisor was terrible- I will never use trip advisor again
Hi, David! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We look forward to welcoming you back anytime!
You’ll have to change your viator confirmation email/ticket into a voucher at the main ticket area of the cable car. It is chaotic and did take about 30 minutes to do…HOWEVER it is well worth it when you see how long the ques are to get onto the cable car for the peoepl who do not have skip the line. Thoroughly reccomend paying the extra, saving your feet and time by purchasing skip the line tickets.
A well organised trip and no waiting in queues. The staff working on sugarloaf were helpful and friendly.
Perfect. Definitely worth paying for skip the line - especially for return trip! Saved us loads of valuable holiday time to enjoy other things. Views from both platforms stunning.
We’re very happy with your feedback! 😊 It’s great to know you made the most of the experience and enjoyed the views. We hope to welcome you again soon! Best regards, Kaira
The crowds get big fast. Get there early as possible or late in the evening. It was awe inspiring, and the fee to experience this was so small in comparison to the experience. Well worth it.
