Not really. When you leave Cusco you're over 10kft. It's about 8k at Machu, maybe 10k at the very very top. It's an amazing place. The town though can be kinda rough as it's jam packed with tourist all the time.

Machu Picchu is at around 8k ft elevation. Cuzco is a little short of 12k.

Ah. I stand corrected. Got meters and feet mixed up. Still 8k isn't too bad if you're healthy. Cusco kicked my butt but I was fine hiking Machu Picchu.
