Photograph the adobe chapel, carved wooden retablo, colorful ex-voto offerings and pilgrims at this 19th‑century sacred site in Chimayó. Best light: early morning or late afternoon for warm side light on textured adobe; weekday mornings for fewer visitors. Easy roadside parking; small donation entry; dress respectfully. Winter can be cold and bright; summers offer strong contrast—carry a polarizer to control glare.
