The main city of Mato Grosso do Sul is Campo Grande. Mato Grosso do Sul occupies an area of 357,140 km² but is home to only about 2.298 million inhabitants. It is one of the least densely populated areas in Brazil with only 6.4 inhabitants/km² (2006). One of the reasons for this is the fact that over one third of the state is marshy floodland called Pantanal.
The major rivers are: Río Paraguay, Paraná, Rio Paranaíba, Miranda, Aquidauana, Taquari, Negro, Apa and Correntes. The Pantanal wetlands are in between these rivers.
