What does "Moderate Disruption" mean?

Some disruption is likely — higher prices and crowds, with a mix of closures depending on the specific business.

Not exact dates — many of these holidays (Ramadan, Lunar New Year, Easter-linked observances) shift every year on lunar or moveable calendars. Search the specific year of your trip to confirm exact dates.

Should I avoid visiting Peru during this season?

Not necessarily — major tourist attractions and international hotels usually stay open even during high-disruption seasons, and some (like Carnival or Songkran) are genuinely worth experiencing if you plan around them. Just book well ahead and expect higher prices.
