This paper describes the use of a visual method in Tourism Geography to obtain the visual assessment that tourists have of their visit to the Magical Town of Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosí. Photo-elicitation was the selected method to accomplish this research, which reveals another way of acquiring information and another kind of interaction between the researcher and the tourist. The results indicate that the perception of the historical, the cultural wealth and the mystical are, in a general way, the image that the visitors have about the town. However, from a geographical point of view there is an inequality in the assessment and number of visitors of the sites, due to the lack of knowledge of the touristic offer or to the main motivation of the trip, which both determine in advance which places will be visited.
