The data center moved physically closer to South America, so the ping should be better than before logically speaking, where it is not, it is likely the result of poor routing, which may improve in the next few days or weeks.

It's entirely possible that the routing your data is taking right now routs towards the old location and then detours to the new resulting in a more extended ping. As that routing improves and becomes more direct your ping should drop.
