Abstract
The article analyzes the travel journalism of K.D. Balmont. In 1905, the famous symbolist poet turned to travel journalism for the first time. The essay “In the Countries of the Sun” described his journey to Mexico, primarily Mexican antiquities. The essay was published in the magazine “Libra” (“Vesy”), which expressed the literary position of the symbolists. However, despite Balmont’s belonging to the symbolists, they practically ignored the essay and considered it a symptom of Balmont’s creative crisis.
