Surge la oportunidad, ¿o la buscas tú?, de parar , por unos meses, lo que es tu vida previsible y empieza la aventura de lo imprevisible y el encuentro con gentes, costumbres, lenguas, culturas, colores, olores, sabores...
An opportunity arises, or is it you looking for it? to stop your previsible life and to start the great adventure of the imprevisible, and the encounter with new cultures, people, smells, flavours ...

Eduardo, the 'gaucho'. The word gaucho could be described as a equivalent to a cowboy. The term often connotes the 19th century more than the present day; then gauchos made up the majority of the rural population, herding cattle, and practising hunting as their main economic activities. In Brazil, Gaúcho is also used to designate people from the state of Rio Grande do Sul in general (where Edu is from btw)
