Argentinian cowboys are called gauchos. They actually existed decades before north American cowboys did. Herding cattle and hunting for food were and are their main activities. Gauchos make up the majority of the Argentinean rural population.
Gauchos are the cowboys of the Argentine and Uruguayan pampas (grasslands). Gauchos are also a style of clothing reminiscent of the gauchos which can include the style of a hat, a vest, pants, or boots.

The word gauchos is Spanish for cowboys. If you are using it in that sense - "Los gauchos cabalgaban los caballos", or "The cowboys rode the horses" - then no, it does not need to be capitalized.However, Gauchos can also be used to describe a specific group of people from the South American region. In this case, it should be capitalized, just as Southerners is capitalized when speaking of people living in the Southern United States.
Brazil:In Southern Brazil, the cowboys (gauchos) wear baggy trousers called bombachas, and also wide-brimmed felt hats.
