Uruguayan cowboys
Gaucho are the original cowboys who roamed southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina after the Spanish introduced cattle to South America, then largely abandoned them. Today, the gaucho philosophy remains on farms throughout South America, with riders expected to wear cowboy boots, baggy pants and wide-brimmed hats... and to ride the gaucho way - one-handed.
