It is important to take time to acclimatize when visiting Cusco or Machu Picchu. Domestic flights are common for covering long distances efficiently, and to combine cultural highlights with nature-based adventures. English is widely spoken in tourism areas, but Spanish and Quechua are the primary languages.
