As far as I know Machu Pichu is very high in the Andes. You may want to consider bringing some Diamox (acetozolomide) capsules to help you with altitude sickness, which you may or may not get - its only 7711feet. But if you will be climbing any other higher peaks, then consider bringing it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu
