Cultural interpretation contributes to the sustainability of resources and tourist attractions of the territory, due to the meaning it evokes for visitors. The objective was to understand the perception of the population for the implementation of tourist signage, as an interpretive trail in the site museum and archaeological zone of Narihuala, Catacaos, Piura-Peru, to promote cultural identity and citizen participation in local initiatives. The study corresponds to a non-experimental design based on phenomenology, of an exploratory type, based on a mixed approach. The participants were residents of Narihuala. The results show that the nucleus of coexistence of the local population is close and familiar, linked to self-managed employment or employed by others. The population considers that the signage will increase the tourist flow, guiding the visitor to locate the names of streets and tourist places more quickly, and allows the symbols and sketches of the area to be displayed through tourist panels in visible places, without altering the harmony of the territorial space. . Tourist signage allows the development, conservation and rejuvenation of resources and tourist attractions, improving the dissemination and communication of cultural heritage. The community proposes the use of alternative energies in signage lighting and interpretive trail.
