Wikipedia: Gaucho 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. In Brazil, it is also used to designate people from the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The word gaucho could be described as a loose equivalent to the North American "cowboy" (vaquero, in Spanish).
