A couple of years after selling our own cattle farm in Bolivia due to political reasons and moving back to Switzerland, my husband googled an Argentinian family farm to spend a homesick holiday. Soon thereafter, we found ourselves on our way to Argentina, and when we arrived, I instantly fell in love with the Argentinian way of life in the countryside. I particularly loved seeing the pride and joy the gauchos of the district Corrientes and they way that shines through in their traditions in their daily lives. Not only do they have the skills and knowledge that you need to work successfully with cattle to keep the animals safe and sane, unlike some other groups working cattle around the world. Equally, in contrast to the Bolivian vaqueros, who mostly dress in jeans and T-Shirts like westerns, the gauchos here dress very traditional and seemingly with a welcome touch of vanity.
