In this paper I explore the many ways the visual culture of tourism in the Yucatán and the Maya Riviera shapes our notions of 'the Maya' and, simultaneously, (re)writes a contemporary history for internal and external consumption. Analysis of visual materials collected over an eight-year period suggests the development of a common symbolic, and political visual/textual language of representation. This complex imaginary dissuades the peeling of layers to reveal the lived realities and histories of people and culture
