Umm, let me see a South American cowboy is called somwthin' that I do not know so go home!!!! :P
whoever said that is meanNew Answer: Cowboys in South America are known by a variety of different names in different regions. Cowboys in South America are very diverse from each other and from the American Cowboy. The term Gaucho is commonly used to describe residents of the South American pampas, chacos, or Patagonian grasslands. In Venezuelan or Colombian the person is known as a llanero. In Uruguay and southern Brazil the person is known as a vaquero. In Chile the person is a huaso, and in Mexico the person is known as a charro.
I suspect the answer you are expecting is "Vaquero" which is what is used on TV. However, I have never heard the term in Spain. In Spain. someone who owns, raises, or works with cattle is called a "Ganadero". See Cassells Spanish-English Dictionary.
A 'vacquero' is the equilivant of the American cowhand. This means someone who herds and tends cattle (name is Brazilian by the way).
Gauchos - Cowboys (Patagonia)
Vaqueros - Cowboys (Western US & Mexico)
