Sugarloaf Mountain

view map

Great city view from the top.
The origin of the name Bread of Sugar or Sugarloaf (Pao de accucar), comes from the cone shape of the mountain,
similar to the the refined sugar blocks that were placed in mud containers of a conical form.
These sugar containers were shipped to Europe.
