Parador número 5 on RP12 (San Juan) is a useful stop for photographing open desert-road landscapes: wide skies, sparse scrub, and long lines of the highway against the Andes backdrop. Best light arrives at sunrise/sunset with low, warm contrast. Expect quiet weekdays; heat shimmers in midday—bring water and sun protection. Access is roadside; confirm opening/permissions with staff if entering grounds.
