----A gaucho is a South American cattle herder, the equivalent to the North American "cowboy" in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and (with the spelling "gaúcho") southern Brazil, and formerly the Falkland Islands. Like the word cowboy, Venezuelan llanero, or the Mexican vaquero, the term often connotes the 19th century more than the present day.
