Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goias, Pantanal and Brasilia

Tourism is increasingly common in the Matto Grosso as visitors come to see the tremendously varied wildlife. Birding and fishing are particularly popular. Prior to tourism, gold mining, now practically exhausted, some tobacco, and cattle were the principal industries. Cattle ranches are still important, and worked by Vaqueiros.

In deference to the theory of modernism in architecture, the plot plan of Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, was of a bird in flight, or an airplane. Government and administrative buildings form the body of the plane, while residential and shopping areas extend out the wings. The city was planned with space set aside in every residential block for apartments, restaurants, shops and services.

Brasilia is a monument to what Brazilians can do and have done. It's a city pointing like an arrow into the future. It's built on a massive scale, with large, innovative buildings, a freedom of spirit and imagination.
