| Description |
Foto tirada do Forte Duque de Caxias(forte do Leme) O morro do Pão de Açúcar é um monólito, sendo um bloco único de granito que sofreu alterações por pressão e temperatura, emergindo com o choque entre os continentes sul-americano e africano. Possui mais de 600 milhões de anos e 395 metros de altura. É circundado por um resquício de mata Atlântica. É um dos principais pontos turísticos da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, no Brasil. __________________ Sugarloaf Mountain (in Portuguese, Pão de Açúcar), is a peak situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from the mouth of Guanabara Bay on a peninsula that sticks out into the Atlantic Ocean. Rising 396 metres (1,299 ft) above sea-level, its name is said to refer to its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined loaf sugar. However, it is believed by some that the name actually derives from Pau-nh-acuqua (“high hill”) in the Tupi-Guarani language, as used by the indigenous Tamoios. The mountain is only one of several monolithic morros of granite and quartz that rise straight from the water's edge around Rio de Janeiro. A glass-paneled cable car (in popular Portuguese, bondinho - more properly called teleférico), capable of holding 75 passengers, runs along a 1400-metre route between the peaks of Pão de Açúcar and Cara de Cão every 20 minutes. The original cable car line was built in 1912 and rebuilt around 1972/1973 in its current form. The cable car goes from the base, not the peak of the Babilônia mountain, to the Urca mountain and then to the Pão de Açúcar mountain. __________________ Le mont du Pain de Sucre ou simplement le Pain de Sucre (Pão de Açúcar en portugais), est un pic situé dans la ville de Rio de Janeiro au Brésil, sur une péninsule à l'entrée de la baie de Guanabara. Avec 396 m d'altitude, il devrait son nom à sa forme très particulière évoquant un bloc de sucre raffiné. Il est cependant possible que cette explication ne soit qu'une étymologie populaire, le nom dérivant peut-être du tupi-guarani Pau-nh-acuqua (« grande colline » en français). Ce pic, bloc monolithique de granite, est le seul parmi tous ceux de la ville à s'élever directement depuis le bord de mer. Un téléphérique panoramique permet de transporter 75 passagers entre les sommets de Babilônia et Urca toutes les demi-heures. Le premier téléphérique fut construit en 1912. Le mont du Pain de Sucre et les montagnes voisines (Morro da Babilônia et Morro da Urca) sont très fréquentés par les amateurs d'escalade. Ils forment l'un des plus grands ensembles de pratique de l'escalade en zone urbaine, avec plus de 270 voies. |
