The Central-West or Center-West Region of Brazil (Portuguese: Região Centro-Oeste do Brasil [ʁeʒiˈɐ̃w ˌsẽtɾoˈɛstʃi du bɾaˈziw]) is composed of the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul; along with the Distrito Federal (Federal District), where Brazil's national capital, Brasília, is situated.

The Chapada dos Guimarães National Park, with caves, grottoes, tracks, and waterfalls, is one of its tourist attractions.

Further south, the Pantanal, the world's largest wetland, is the habitat for nearly one thousand species of animals and many aquatic birds.

The Pantanal covers 12 municipalities of Mato Grosso do Sul and presents an enormous variety of flora and fauna, with forests, natural sand banks, savannahs, open pasture, fields and bushes.

The area near Bonito has prehistoric caverns, natural rivers, waterfalls, swimming pools and the Blue Lake Cave.

The cerrado landscape is characterized by extensive savanna formations crossed by gallery forests and stream valleys.

At the height of the drought, from June to September, the lack of rain makes the level of the River Araguaia go down and brings up almost 2 km of beaches.

At the Emas National Park in the municipality of Chapadão do Céu, it is possible to observe the typical fauna and the flora from the region.

During the dry season, the humidity can reach critical levels, mainly in the peak hours of the hottest days.

The artificial lake of Paranoá, with almost 40 km2 and 500 million m3 of water, was built to minimize the severe climatic conditions of the winter.

[4][6][7] Mato Grosso is also the largest producer of cotton in Brazil, with around 65% of the national production (1.8 of the 2.8 million tons harvested in the country).

Goiás was the fourth largest producer of beans in Brazil in the 2017/18 harvest, with 374 thousand tons, and has about 10% of the country's production.

Goiás has the national leadership: it produced 44% of the Brazilian agricultural production in the 2019/2020 cycle, with a harvest of 1.09 million tons.

Between the years 2010 to 2018, the production of Mato Grosso do Sul soared by 308%, reaching 17 million cubic meters of roundwood for paper and pulp in 2018.

Located in the middle of the vast Central Upland, the Central-West Region reveals how attractive the tours in the interior of the country can be.

And in the state of Goiás, historical attractions, such as Pirenópolis draw many visitors all year long, with its steep stone-paved streets and its colonial houses.

Other attractions in the same state include Chapada dos Veadeiros and the National Park of Emas, where the contact with nature is the essence of the tours.

As of 1996, Marechal Rondon Airport, located 10 km (6.2 mi) from the city center, started receiving international flights.

As commercial aviation demand grew, it became necessary to widen the civil aircraft apron, which was completed 12 years after its construction.
