This post may win the award for fastest derailment in APC history. VCP is a great layover. Long flight but nice being so close to your starting time zone when you land. Previous posters (before the runs took over) were pretty accurate. Hotel has water and a great breakfast included. You call down and ask for breakfast and they bring you a feast. Cathedral and Trevisan are the two restaurants off property that most of the pilots I have flown down there with like to frequent. Cathedral has some atmosphere and good food, Trevisan is a typical "Brazillian Steakhouse" that you might be used to in the USA, think Texas de Brazil, death by meat. It's good but sort of lacking in atmosphere. The hotel has several restaurants and I have had some okay meals there. The dollar goes a long way and you can have some great food and drinks for very reasonable prices. The hotel pool has a bar and restaurant that has some pretty good food too. I haven't done much touring around other than dining. Enjoy the trip and watch out for those storms when flying through the ITCZ.
