I received the following information regarding gf travel in  
Argentina. It appears that there isn't a great deal of information  
about it but I hope this helps.
1.  "I spent 3 weeks driving around Argentina a couple of years ago  
and had a great time.  Food is very similar to here (except for the  
northernmost tropical provinces), but I would say the gluten risk is  
less.  Grilled meat is hugely popular and much tastier than in the  
US, but skip the morcilla (blood sausage), which has bread crumbs in  
it.  Side salads and vegetables are very basic but usually fresh.   
French fries are a common accompaniment, and they're generally  
reliable; I never saw anything else deep-fried.  Fruit salad is  
available almost everywhere for dessert and again, almost always made  
fresh.  The Italian influence is very strong in Argentina, but don't  
expect much from the Italian restaurants--they mostly focus on pizza,  
pasta and milanesas (breaded cutlets).  Processed foods have their  
ingredients clearly labeled and the products in health food stores  
use the international GF symbol."

2.  Spanish translations:

harina - flour; pan-bread
gluten-gluten
free - libre.de
gluten-free - libre.de.gluten
trigo - wheat
avena - oats
centeno - rye
cebada - barley
almidón - starch
torta - cake

3.  "My daughter went to Arg. shortly after being diagnosed with CD.   
Bread is
everywhere .. so she would normally just have broiled chicken.. they  
don't
use a lot of sauces in their cooking anyway.  So, I'd bring some  
sauces you
like that are GF.  She said the next time she goes back she'll bring
Frank's Red Hot sauces (lime one is great) or some tangy ones.  Meals  
tend
to be a lingering... social thing.  Not like here in the U.S. where you
pick up a quick lunch on the run.  You might want to bring some  
Pamela's GF
cookies too.  I wish I could give you some GF places to eat... but  
she just
ordered salads w/no crutons, and oil/vinegar dressing.  Breakfasts  
were a
real problem... so she just had eggs and fruit."

4.  There are 3 good articles in the archives. The dates are: March  
20, 2005, March 15, 2005 & January 15, 2005.
If I receive any more information I will post it.
