Overview
- Provincial authorities supervised the move from CONICET to the Museo Cornelio Moyano after indigenous ceremonies that framed the action as an act of historical repair.
- The remains now rest in Gualtach Caye, a restricted, climate‑controlled room with biomedical cold storage, air filtration and dehumidification designed for preventive conservation without intervention.
- Officials describe the relocation as part of a staged plan developed through the Mesa de Diálogo Intercultural and a preliminary master plan that contemplates a future sanctuary or interpretation center at Aconcagua.
- The child, estimated at about eight years old and dating to around 1500, was discovered on January 8, 1985 by members of the Club Andinista de Mendoza at roughly 5,400 meters on the mountain.
- Ongoing ethical debate has resurfaced over extraction and exhibition, with discoverer Alberto Pizzolón voicing regret, and discussions continue on timing and protocols for the final return.
