Do you need yellow fever vaccination if you visit Lima and Cuzco and Machu Picchu areas in Peru?

No. Lima is desert, and there are no mosquitoes in a desert. Cuzco and Machu Picchu are in the Andes Mountains, second only to the Himalayas in altitude. No mosquitoes there either. The only place in Peru where you would be concerned about yellow fever would be east of the Andes in the Amazonas.
