This study, has tried to conceptualize the different perceptions of the traveler regarding to an alone reality but focused from the following subject matters: the distinct perceptions of a reality and the imaginaries and the country interpretations, from the economic and social aspect.

In this studio remains demonstrated that William V Wells´s book, the history and literature provides data to approach through a philological study to the society in a certain period of time.
