MY STATE, MY RIO GRANDE DO SUL
WHO IS GAÚCHO?▪ The Traditional Gaúcho:Originally, the Gaúchos were the people living in the country sides in the southern Latin America. But it's also the word used to describe a person born in the Brazilian state of RS.
▪ The Pride of Being Gaúcho:Gaúchos are very proud of being born in the state of RS. It's not uncommon to hear jokes like "Gaúcho is the best at everything". They indentify themselves first as Gaúchos, and only then - if even - as Brazillias.

MY STATE, MY RIO GRANDE DO SUL
WHO IS GAÚCHO?
▪ Strong Influence:Starting from 1822, many Italian and
German Families, looking for an easier life, started immigrating to RS. Despite the promises of a prosperous life, what
waited ahead was a life full of hard work. As a result of that immigration,
almost everyone you meet in the state has an Italian or German last name. This is also the reason why the population in
the south of Latin America has light skin.
▪ Its population is largely made up of descendants of Portuguese, German, Italian, African and indigenous.▪ In small part by Spaniards, Poles and French, among other immigrants…
As the time passed, the immigrates started adopting some of the local habits and the Gaúcho - the way we know him today - was formed; firm, determined and strong in the way he walks and talks.

▪ When drinking it, you have to finish everything - all the way until you hear the water "snorting" - it is the sign that you enjoyed it.
