Two traditional games typical of gaucho culture are Juego de la Bola and El Pato.
Juego de la Bola involves throwing a weighted leather ball at a target, with points awarded based on accuracy and distance. This game showcases the gauchos' precision and skill, often taking place during festive gatherings.
El Pato, on the other hand, is a horseback game resembling a mix of polo and rugby. Players attempt to score by retrieving a ball from competitors while riding their horses, emphasizing teamwork, agility, and horsemanship. Both games reflect the gaucho's deep connection to their equestrian lifestyle and cultural heritage.
