In recent studies, the application of ERT has allowed the identification of important geological faults, as in the Baza fault in Spain, where deep characterizations of up to 1000 m were achieved using the Pole-Dipole array [18]. Similarly, in the Zhangdian-Renhe active fault zone, four fault zones with inclinations between 60\({}^{\circ}\) and 75\({}^{\circ}\) were identified using ERT [19]. In addition, research on karst cavities has shown that detection is most effective in resistive source rocks, as evidenced in the \"Forstststraben Einbruch\" cavity [20]. In Peru, TRE has been used mainly for road maintenance and groundwater exploration projects [21; 22] to characterize the subsoil where these projects were developed, although its application in landslide characterization has been limited. A relevant case is the landslide that occurred on 15 March 2021 in the \"Laguna del Amor\" area, in Chota, Cajamarca. This event affected 500 m of roadway, houses, local crops, and a riverbank, impacting an area of 16.10 hectares characterized by geomorphologic instability and great tourist importance [23]. The physical-mechanical properties of the slopes of the study area are soils with 22% to 27% moisture and with a granulometry of inorganic clay of high plasticity (CH). In addition, plastic limits were of 19% and 31% and liquid limits were of 53% and 64% [24]. This paper uses 2D ERT, the most widely used geophysical approximation method, to investigate and represent the electrical properties of the subsurface based on resistivity contrasts, to characterize the distribution of this property in the subsurface [18; 19; 20; 21; 22; 23; 24; 25; 26], and to characterize the landslide in Laguna del Amor, with the objective of determining key parameters such as soil composition, saturated strata or water flows, and landslide stratigraphy. This information is crucial for risk management and future urban planning in a region historically affected by recurrent ground movements since 1970. The research aims to provide detailed knowledge of the sedimentary formations of the area, characterized by high water saturation at significant depths. The landslide in the Lagunas sector was caused by the excessive rainfall in the area and the type of materials characteristic of the geological formations present in the area, and soil originated from the weathering of shale rock (main component of the Chota and Celendin formations); which, together with high saturation, are the triggers of the landslide. The results obtained should be validated by means of geological drilling logs, improving the accuracy and usefulness of the conclusions for further research. The main challenges encountered in the development of this research are the lack of information on the study area, not presenting information from previous geophysical studies, limiting the comparative analysis, in addition to the difficulties regarding the accessibility of the area, and preventing the constant monitoring of the landslide. The difficulty of the work area, its touristic importance, the methodology (combination of geology, photogrammetry, ERT dipole pole with RES2 DINV v. 3.5.3), and the lack of information and resources of the place are part of the challenge present in this research and, therefore, the novelty. The possible damages generate the need to implement mitigation actions, such as deep drainage to reduce saturation and improve natural drainage, in order to stabilize the water table and partially restore soil cohesion in the most compromised areas.
