Sugar Loaf mountain was a ton of fun. There was a short, medium difficulty hike to start but it was so worth the view. We took the gondola from the midpoint to the top where the view was the best. I highly recommend this trip. And make sure your phone is charged because your pictures will be amazing.

Life is more beautiful with colors. Coloring the Sugar Loaf was what our students did with RioLIVE! Besides the great weather and city colors, during this visit they also learned the expression amigo colorido (colorful friend) which is the Portuguese version of friends with benefits. Once they learned that, we all agreed that life is better with colors, regular and personal ones! Hahaha…
