As I've been studying the history of Gaucho's in Argentina through my culture class at the University, I might have neglected to describe who they are. So, to put it most simply, I'll use a definition from wikipedia: Gaucho (gaúcho in Portuguese, gaucho in Spanish) is a term commonly used to describe residents of the South American pampas, chacos, or Patagonian grasslands, found principally in parts of Argentina, Uruguay, Southern Chile, and Southern Region, Brazil. The word gaucho could be described as a loose equivalent to the North American "Cowboy" ("vaquero" in Spanish).
