The Caranchos of Florida (Spanish:Los Caranchos de la Florida) is a novel by the Argentine writer Benito Lynch, which was first published in 1916.[1] The title refers to the crested caracara, a bird of prey known in Spanish as "Caranchos", and used as a pejorative similar to the English "vulture". The Florida in the title refers to a cattle ranch in rural Argentina, rather than the American state of the same name. It is part of the Gaucho literature genre.
In 1938 it was adapted into a film of the same title.
