This article deals with theoretical and practical aspects of the Bitácora Zombie as a production and representation of the architectural and urban landscape of San José (Costa Rica). It is based on an aesthetic view of the environment, potentiating information about the public space by evidencing conflicts of coexistence and marginalization through the scopic regime. At the same time, the article discusses some theoretical notions that reconfigure the visual construction of reality: postmodern city, hauntology, zombie ecology, modern ruin, black tourism, and fear ecology. Two methodological observation tools provided by visual sociology are used. The first addresses an urban view proposed by the creative flâneur through the "phygital" (physical and digital) walk carried out through geo-located wanderings. The second tool involves the development of a creative urban sketch or drawing of the environment transformed into a notebook and travel document uploaded to the Instagram social network.
