Os Kayapó vivem em aldeias dispersas ao longo do curso superior dos rios Iriri, Bacajá, Fresco e de outros afluentes do caudaloso rio Xingu, desenhando no Brasil Central um território quase tão grande quanto a Áustria. É praticamente recoberto pela floresta equatorial, com exceção da porção oriental, preenchida por algumas áreas de cerrado.
[The Kayapó live in villages scattered along the upper course of the Iriri, Bacajá, Fresco rivers and other tributaries of the mighty Xingu River, in Central Brazil in a territory almost as large as Austria. It is almost entirely covered by rainforest, with the exception of the eastern portion, covered by some grassland areas.]
