Brazil Rio symbol ～ Bread Mountain dusk

Bread Mountain (Sugarloaf Mountain) is a famous tourist attraction in Brazil, which is named after French bread. Located at the entrance of Guanabara Bay, it is one of the symbols of Rio de Janeiro. Bread Mountain is 396 meters high, and you can have a panoramic view of Rio when you climb the top of the mountain. There are two slightly lower peaks adjacent to Bread Mountain, Goumen Mountain and Urka Mountain, both 215 meters high. In 1565, the city of Rio was founded between the two mountains, and now at the foot of the mountain you can see the castle of San Joao, which defended the city of Rio. The sweet bread mountain is 394 meters high and the top of the mountain gives you a panoramic view of Rio. The Indians called it the security guard taco (Paund Acuqua), originally meaning the tall and upright independent peak, its pronunciation is similar to the sugar bread in Portuguese (pao de acucar), and the shape of the mountain reminds Portuguese people of the earthy mold used to make sugar into a conical square sugar. So call it sugar bread.
