The poncho-clad gaucho is a stereotypical figure of South America, a free-spirited but rather melancholy cowboy who roamed the pampas on horseback, herding cattle from one area of pasture to another. They were famed for their bravery during the 19th century wars of independence, but have since disappeared.
