This article analyses the impacts of tourism development on the social composition and gender relations in a rural district of the Peruvian coastal region. It concludes that it has accelerated the process of diversification of the household economy and social composition of its population. However, the expansion of tourism could not be explained without taking into account that the agricultural production covers the basic needs of its workers. In what concerns gender relations, tourism opens works opportunities for women and could trigger some changes within couple relationships. Nevertheless, jobs related to tourism activities are usually precarious and men monopolize the more valuable and better paid positions
