Finally, a family member contacted the local authorities and confirmed that they will bear the costs of the arrangement. This was confirmed by Oscar de Diego, the contravention judge who had even initiated a legal action that will now be without effect.

The message was simple and left several clues about the authors: " Flia Peñaranda. González Catán, Bs As ", and the date they toured the Atuel Canyon and other key points of Mendoza tourism. The photo of the vandalized stones began to circulate on Facebook and Twitter, accompanied by all kinds of messages against the attitude of the Buenos Aires family.

"It's not the first time something like this has happened in Valle Grande. In November of last year they sprayed the rocks of the tourist passage. How long will we let this keep happening?

The complaint was accompanied by images of the many graffiti on the hills all the way to Valle Grande.

Justice took the post after the virtual escrache, located the authors and informed them that they had initiated an ex officio cause with the cover of "aggravated damage" . The repentance that the family showed during the dialogue with the authorities made it possible to reach an agreement. Thus, they defined that they will be responsible for the operational cost of the sandblasting process that must be done on the rocks to erase the graffitti. The arrangement will take place in early March.

The story of the family that had caused so much outrage had reached national news media, such as TN . In dialogue with that channel, prosecutor Javier Giaroli had given details about the situation and the initiative of justice to ask that the family take over.

According to the members of the Peñaranda family, the graffiti author was a young minor . The arrangement is now in charge of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, which must hire a company to do the cleaning.
