Abstract
The objective of the research is to understand the social imaginary concerning the indigenous communities that reside in the Amazonian Trapeze and its influence on the tourist experience. The historical relationship of mestizo society towards indigenous communities, is expressed in power relations constructed since the colonial past, which is materialized today in exclusion, social inequality, exoticization and ignorance of the other. Such a relationship also comes alive in the tourist imaginary: what is offered to the tourist reproduces the power plays and market relations that exist between businessmen, tourists and indigenous communities. The latter in turn, resignify identities and practices, as forms of resistance or adaptation, which influences the construction of new imaginaries and the tourist experiences.
