Overview
- The remains were moved pre-dawn on Saturday from CONICET’s INCIHUSA to the Museo Cornelio Moyano in Mendoza under tight security.
- Gualtach Caye, a new climate‑controlled, access‑restricted storage room at the museum, will house the ofrenda without intervention or public display.
- Authorities say the stay at the museum is an interim stage in a staged repatriation process that will culminate on Aconcagua, with no date yet set.
- The move follows years of dialogue through the Mesa de Diálogo Intercultural, which frames the process as historical repair recognizing the child as an ancestor.
- Conservation protocols and ceremonial elements guided the operation, with preservation overseen by conservator Valentina Ruggiero and infrastructure prepared by provincial teams.
