The Gaucho Stamp: Uruguay's Untamed Heroes & Outlaws

Описание: Let's discover the Gaucho of a Uruguay from this beautiful stamp! Both a hero and an outlaw, the "wild" Gaucho of the Pampas plains lived a free life rounding up wild cattle and horses and selling the animals and their hides to buyers. Their nights on the plains were filled with roasting fresh beef, drinking bitter mate, and playing songs into the night. Despite this romantic image, they were also ruthless fighters and soldiers. I hope you enjoy learning about these dynamic characters, a cultural staple of Uruguay!
