They are open area covered by grass that are located in the south of Brazil, and in other countries such as Argentina, Uruguay, etc. The climate is subtropical, with warm temperatures, and constant rains with little alteration during the whole year. The soil in general is good and therefore its use in  agriculture is substantial. The main economic activity, however, is the cattle raising. In this area is found the best cattle herds of Brazil. Most of the meats for export leaves the south fields.

The vegetation is almost only composed by grass while there are found some trees and bushes close to streams and rivers.
