Why is sunrise at Sugarloaf special?
You'll witness Rio awakening with golden light hitting Christ the Redeemer, Copacabana, and the bay. Plus, you'll beat the crowds - it's often just you and nature!
What time do we need to start?
5:30 AM pickup recommended. Sunrise times vary by season (5:30-6:30 AM), so we adjust pickup accordingly to catch the perfect moment.
Is it very cold at sunrise?
Yes! Bring warm layers. Even in summer, early mornings at 400m elevation can be chilly (15-18°C / 59-64°F). It warms up quickly after sunrise.
What if it's cloudy?
Clouds can create dramatic photos! If weather is severe (rain/fog), we'll reschedule. But often, clouds clear as sun rises - it's magical.
