It is very difficult for a Peruvian to get a tourist visa to the US unless she/he has very significant hard assets in Peru (I think I once saw a statistic of about 90% rejection in Peru). Peruvians must show compelling (financial) reasons that will force them to return to Peru. If she has the assets to get the tourist visa, she could probably sponsor herself. If not, then the question is moot because she will not get the tourist visa.

The tourist visa is the obvious alternative to the time delay in the K-1 process. The USCIS and embassies all know this and can spot the fake tourism applicant a mile away. Going this route will only lead to a failed effort, more expense, more time, and will jeapordize your K-1 when it is eventually filed.

My suggestion is to drop the tourism visa idea.
