largest in area, occupying a bit more than 45% of the national territory. It also has the largest&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/biodiversity-brazil\/\">biodiversity in the country<\/a>, thanks to the Amazon Forest. Furthermore, highlands and plains compose most of the geography of the North, as well as natural depressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This region was only colonized in the 17th century \u2014 mainly by the military and religious priests. True occupation of the North, however, only started during the 19th and 20th centuries. Rubber production was the main reason people moved there in search of a better life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though there are over 18 million people living in the North of Brazil, the population is unevenly distributed. That happens mostly because of the vegetation and the forest. However, it also has to do with the fact that most of the inhabitants choose to live by the rivers\u2019 banks. The lack of infrastructure compared to other regions of Brazil make people from the North rely heavily on water transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/rivers-of-brazil\/\">The Main Rivers of Brazil \u2013 Explore the Brazilian Freshwaters<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the \u201970s, mining and agriculture started to expand in the North. That made this region the second-largest in population growth rate in Brazil. Moreover, the North is also a big industrial hub, home to large multinational companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Culture-wise,&nbsp; the North region is home to important festivities of Brazil, such as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/traditional-brazilian-festivals\/\">C\u00edrio de Nazar\u00e9 and the Parintins festival<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"States_in_the_North_region\"><\/span>States in the North region<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">States<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">City Capitals<\/th><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Acre<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rio Branco<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Amap\u00e1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Macap\u00e1<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Amazonas<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Manaus<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Par\u00e1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Bel\u00e9m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rond\u00f4nia<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Porto Velho<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Roraima<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Boa Vista<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tocantins<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Palmas<\/td><\/tr><\/thead><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"North_Data\"><\/span>North Data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Area<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3,853,575 km\u00b2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Population<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">18,430,980<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Largest city<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Manaus<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Climate<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Equatorial<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Biome<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Amazon Rainforest<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Main economy<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Mining, agriculture, energy production, electronic manufacturing, extractivism<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Traditional food<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tacac\u00e1, Mani\u00e7oba, Pato no Tucupi, Cartola<\/td><\/tr><\/thead><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Northeast_Region\"><\/span>Northeast Region<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/nordeste-northeast-regions-brazil.jpg\" alt=\"nordeste northeast regions brazil\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The first Portuguese that came to Brazil in 1500 first arrived in Bahia, in the Northeast of Brazil. Because of that, this is the oldest region to be colonized in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The northeastern vegetation ranges from mangroves, caatinga and cerrado, to sandbanks and Atlantic Forest. It is home to several endemic and&nbsp;endangered species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, tourism is a big source of economy in the Northeast. The coastal cities are home to paradisical beaches, attracting the attention of tourists from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, because this region is located in a semi-arid climate, it is common for cities to have no rain for six or more months straight, making rivers run completely dry during this period. Moreover, unfortunately, the Northeast region of Brazil suffers many socio-economic problems. Among those are lack of agriculture and industry diversity, constant droughts, lack of piped water, sewage treatment, and electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good rural areas are scarce and near the coast. So, the majority of cities in the Northeast region are located near the sea, making the population poorly distributed. Still, the region houses 28% of the total population of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the Northeast region is rich in culture and cuisine. It is popular for its&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/brazilian-foods-traditional\/\">traditional food<\/a>, festivities,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/blog\/religions-in-brazil\/\">religion<\/a>, beaches, and arts and crafts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SaW37MCDAFI\"><strong>Watch teacher Josie\u2019s videos on the Northeast of Brazil.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"States_in_the_Northeast_region\"><\/span>States in the Northeast region<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">States<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">City Capitals<\/th><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Alagoas<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Macei\u00f3<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Bahia<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Salvador<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Cear\u00e1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Fortaleza<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Maranh\u00e3o<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">S\u00e3o Lu\u00eds<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Para\u00edba<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Jo\u00e3o Pessoa<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Pernambuco<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Recife<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Piau\u00ed<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Teresina<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Rio Grande do Norte<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Natal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Sergipe<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Aracaju<\/td><\/tr><\/thead><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Northeast_Data\"><\/span>Northeast Data<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Area<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1,554,291 km\u00b2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Population<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">57,071,564<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Largest city<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Salvador<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Climate<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Tropical; semi-arid; semi-equatorial<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Biome<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Caatinga<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Main economy<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Agriculture, livestock, industrialized goods, tourism<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Traditional food<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Acaraj\u00e9, Bai\u00e3o de Dois, Vatap\u00e1, Caruru, Bolo de Rolo<\/td><\/tr><\/thead><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Central-West_Region\"><\/span>Central-West Region<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/caminhoslanguages.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/centro-oeste-central-west-regions-of-brazil.jpg\" alt=\"centro oeste central west regions of brazil\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Central-West region is the least populated in Brazil, even though it has a great area.

It is the richest of all regions of Brazil, responsible for approximately 60% of the GDP of the country. S\u00e3o Paulo is also the largest industrial park in South America. Its main industrial activities revolve around iron, steel, metallurgy, petroleum, and high technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the Southeast region is also a large producer of coffee, sugar cane, orange, and lime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, the first colony of Portugal was established here in the Southeast, bringing Portuguese men to populate Brazil around 1952.
