Goias Attractions

 
Goiás State

The state of Goiás lies in the central highlands of Brazil. Its western boundary, separating it from the states of Pará and Mato Grosso, is formed by the Rio Araguaia, in which is the large island of Bananal; to the south, beyond the Rio Paranaíba, is the state of Minas Gerais; while in the north-east the Serra Geral de Goiás forms a natural boundary with Bahia. In 1988 the northern half of Goiás was hived off to form the state of Tocantins. European settlement of Goiás began in the late 17th century. In addition to arable farming and stock-rearing mining still makes a contribution to the state's economy.
