'''Mato Grosso''' ({{IPA-|pt|ˈmatu ˈɡɾosu|-|Pt-br Mato Grosso.ogg}} – {{literal translation|Thick Bush}}) is one of the [[states of Brazil]], the [[List of Brazilian states by area|third largest by area]], located in the [[Central-West Region, Brazil|Central-West]] region.<ref>Note: also once spelled "Matto Grosso". The ''town'' of Matto Grosso was formerly called Villa Bella." Source: Exploration of the Valley of the Amazon, vol.2, by Lieut. USN. [[Lardner Gibbon]] 1853; chapter 11. p. 275</ref> The state has 1.66% of the Brazilian population and is responsible for 1.9% of the Brazilian [[GDP]].
 
Neighboring states (from west clockwise) are: [[Rondônia]], [[Amazonas State, Brazil|Amazonas]], [[Pará]], [[Tocantins]], [[Goiás]] and [[Mato Grosso do Sul]]. The state is roughly 82.2% of the size of its southwest neighbor, the nation of [[Bolivia]]. A state with a flat landscape that alternates between vast ''[[chapada]]s'' and plain areas, Mato Grosso contains three main ecosystems: the [[Cerrado]], the [[Pantanal]] and the [[Amazon rainforest]].
