This research aims to determine how available tourist resources may promote the development of the Huacho district (Huaura, Lima Region) and turn it into a tourist destination. To that end, it uses a qualitative, descriptive and applied assessment methodology. It stands out the main tourist attractions and important archaeological sites of northern Lima, such as the Sacred City of Caral, where all types of sustainable tourism may be practiced. Moreover, this study provides information about iconic (or countryside) restaurants, hotels, beaches for short visits or spending the summer, lagoons, green fields, streets and cities. The results of the research demonstrate that sustainable tourism may be developed in Huacho by creating tourist circuits, cultural routes and/or culinary tourism based on local resources, particularly those found in the Las Salinas lagoon.

The church and convent of Santo Domingo make up one of the most important and recognized monuments of the city of Lima due to their historical, religious, architectural and artistic value. The objective of this research is to determine if the heritage and identity of Santo Domingo influence the management of the cultural tourism product of Lima. In addition, concepts of heritage and identity are developed, considering that both act to consolidate and support the bases of Peruvian nationality over a territory of belonging with history, past, present and future, and recognizing the formation of identity as a starting point for valuation, care and promotion. This paper also mentions the institutions that successfully develop tourism programs thanks to the management of the product, and highlights the importance and significance of the evangelizing work of the Dominicans in Peru.
