About Sugarloaf Mountain

Sugarloaf Mountain is a peak situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on a peninsula at the mouth of Guanabara Bay. Rising 396 m (1,299 ft) above the harbor, the peak is named for its resemblance to the traditional shape of concentrated refined sugarloaf. It is known worldwide for its cable car and panoramic views of the city and beyond.

On the show

Sugarloaf Mountain just outside Rio is named after the sugar loaf — a block of sugar you'd have on your table — and sugar nips were the little pair of scissors you'd use to nip off a little bit.
