Landscape of Brazil
Brazil can be divided into three main regions: The plateau of the Guianas, the Amazon Basin and the Brazilian Plateau. The Amazon basin covers more than one-third of the surface of Brazil, being the largest tropical plains of the world. Due to the density of the forest and due to its impenetrability, this region is hardly developed.
The second important geographical unit is the mountains of Brazil, which has an area of approximately five million square kilometers, spanning more than half the total land area.
The Plateau of Guyana, which is also nearly developed, it rises to the north, being in this region the Pico da Neblina, the country’s highest peak with a height of 3,014 m. To the west the ridge height reduced, rarely reaching more than 150 m to the southeast, even down abruptly, forming a cliff on the coast that runs parallel to the Atlantic Ocean.
