United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a Yellow Fever vaccination for all travelers aged 9 months and older to areas East of the Andes Mountains. Travelers limiting their destinations to Machu Picchu or Cuzco do not need the vaccine. The vaccine should be given 10 days prior to travel to the affected region, and it is good for 10 years.
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.
To travel to Peru, you will need a valid passport, a tourist visa (if required based on your nationality), and possibly proof of yellow fever vaccination. It is also recommended to have travel insurance and any necessary medications. Make sure to check the specific entry requirements based on your citizenship before traveling.

Travelers who are limiting travel to the cities of Cuzco and Machu Picchu do not need vaccination. Peru recommends vaccination for those who intend to visit any jungle areas of the country <2,300 m (<7,546 ft.). Vaccination should be given 10 days before travel and at 10 year intervals if there is on-going risk. Find an authorized U.S. yellow fever vaccination clinic. Hepatitis A or immune globulin (IG) Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in countries with an intermediate or high level of hepatitis A virus infection (see map) where exposure might occur through food or water. Cases of travel-related hepatitis A can also occur in travelers to developing countries with "standard" tourist itineraries, accommodations, and food consumption behaviors. Hepatitis B Recommended for all unvaccinated persons traveling to or working in countries with intermediate to high levels of endemic HBV transmission (see map), especially those who might be exposed to blood or body fluids, have sexual contact with the local population, or be exposed through medical treatment (e.g., for an accident). Typhoid Recommended for all unvaccinated people traveling to or working in Tropical South America, especially if visiting smaller cities, villages, or rural areas and staying with friends or relatives where exposure might occur through food or water. Rabies Recommended for travelers spending a lot of time outdoors, especially in rural areas, involved in activities such as bicycling, camping, or hiking. Also recommended for travelers with significant occupational risks (such as veterinarians) for long-term travelers and expatriates living in areas with a significant risk of exposure, and for travelers involved in any activities that might bring them into direct contact with bats. Children are considered at higher risk because they tend to play with animals, may receive more severe bites, or may not report bites. Note: Rabies vaccine is temporarily in limited supply. For updates on the rabies vaccine supply, please check the Rabies News and Highlights page regularly. See the Related Link for more information.
Peru, like any other country requires a passport to get in. Passports do require that immunizations are complete and up to date. In addition, it would be wise to get shots for rarer diseases that are not common at home.
