My husband just filed for his AOS on June 3rd, we received our receipt and notice that they received it and accepted payment. We've read in many places that it's safe for him to travel domestically, within the US, but we want to be extremely cautious. Can they say something to him for traveling inside the country? He'd bring his Peruvian passport and USCIS receipt notice. He also has an active Tourist visa. Thank you.

That is correct. Just his Peruvian passport is necessary but also carry his I-485 NOA1: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification

 

And don't transit through a foreign airport: https://web.archive.org/web/20190824072204/https://www.uscis.gov/archive/blog/2014/05/five-questions-about-advance-parole_9

Do I need advance parole if I am flying from the continental United States to Puerto Rico?  What about Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, or the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands?

No, advance parole would not be needed if you travel directly between parts of the United States, which includes Guam, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Swains Island and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), without entering a foreign port or place.

Just a note: his tourist visa is no longer active; it became void as soon as the K1 was approved and the interviewing agent should have asked him to surrender it. 

 

Also, as soon as he gets the advance parole or the green card -whatever happens first- he can get his real ID which will serve him to travel domestically.

That can vary:

 

But the tourist visa doesn't really matter as there isn't a current I-94 associated with the tourist visa.
