The Brazilian Highlands, also known as the Central Plateau, is a vast region in Brazil characterized by elevated terrain and rolling hills. It covers a significant portion of the country, stretching across several states, including Minas Gerais, Goiás, and São Paulo. The highlands are known for their diverse ecosystems, including forests, savannas, and grasslands. This region plays a crucial role in Brazil's climate and hydrology, as it is the source of many important rivers, such as the São Francisco and Tocantins. The highlands also support agriculture and livestock farming, contributing to the country's economy and food production.
