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.
