The green Serra da Grota Funda mountains surround the water rides at Rio's Wet'n Wild Water Park. It's great for the whole family. More than ten thousand stars cover the sky of the Planet rio dome, shining in blue, yellow and green. The planetarium, built in 1970, then renovated and expanded in 1998, now offers all kinds of astronomy adventures, from flight simulators to theater plays and telescope viewings. You can even observe the sun.
Kids love it, and so do grown ups.
The view was amazing, and the ride was only beginning. After the second leg of the journey, three more minutes suspended in a cable car, we reached the summit of Sugar Loaf. Needless to say, it is a great place to relax and watch the sunset. There is a restaurant with superb vista at Urca Hill and a snack bar with open-air tables at Sugar Loaf. One of our most famous vistas, the Sugar Loaf and its cable cars, was used as a location for one of the 007 movies, Moonraker , in 1977.
