Because the friends we were joining in Ribeirão Preto were at the Tryp hotel, we also went there without hesitation.

The hotel is very nice, but a bit on the outskirts, in an “American style” area, seeming designed only for travellers by car.

Apart from the excellent breakfast, we did not get a chance to try the restaurant, but a “quick” meal in the bar was a disaster – not quick at all, and I ate the worst picanha of my whole life.
