Offers a comprehensive analysis of how Mexico's archaeological heritage, particularly its pyramids, has been instrumental in shaping the country's tourism industry and national identity. The book explores the transformation of archaeological sites from sacred and historical landmarks into commodified tourist attractions. The author examines the historical processes that led to this shift, highlighting the role of foreign perceptions—especially from the United States—in constructing Mexico's image as an exotic and culturally rich destination. She delves into how these perceptions influenced national policies and tourism strategies, leading to the integration of archaeological heritage into the country's economic development plans.
