Dique punta negra — photo spot in San Juan, San Juan Province, Argentina

Dique Punta Negra (near San Juan) offers dramatic reservoir-and-mountains scenery with a calm shoreline, rocky embankments, and ever-changing water reflections. Best photos come when wind smooths the surface for mirror shots or when storm clouds roll over the Andes. Weekdays bring fewer visitors; bring water and sun protection—this is a dry, bright landscape.more
