Which is the largest state in Brazil?

The largest state in Brazil is Amazonas, which is bordered by Roraima, Pará, Mato Grosso, Rondônia, Acre, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela. This state is situated in the northwest of this South American country. As its name implies, this state is almost entirely covered by the Amazon Rainforest and enjoys the splendour of the massive Amazon River, which winds its way through Brazil, bringing with it an array of species from the plant and animal kingdoms. In addition, this area is notable for being the home of Brazil’s highest mountain, Pico da Neblina, which is 2 994 metres, or 9 823 feet, above sea level.

Correct. I hope the Amazonas state is preserved because it is a major source of our oxygen. The planet needs green plants so we can live on it. Thank you.

Educated guess - Amazon denotes something very large / Lynda Carter - Wonder Woman. Yay me.

Good guess.

I was confused between Amazonas and Bahia, I called my friend to get the correct answer. The Amazon is one of the earth treasured resources, we must do everything to preserve it.
