The gauchos

The gauchos The gauchos The gauchos Vladimira Dvorakova / age fotostock;

The myth of the gaucho is perpetuated in the provinces. Initially, the gaucho was a mixture of Indian and Spanish who lived on the edges of society. Until the end of the 19th century, he guarded his flocks over the immense deserted plains of the Pampas and scorned the law and borders. As in America, the arrival of the great landowners and barbed wire curbed this liberty.
