Lima has an excellent international airport and it's located exactly in the center of Latin America. Round-trip air tickets from Lima to Cusco cost from 100 to 200 USD (http://www.starperu.com/).

Direct return flights from Madrid (Spain) to Lima round-trip are between 550 USD and 1000 USD depending on the airline, the time of the year, the maximum stay and the delay between the booking and the flight. Return flights from any European city to Madrid should be below 100 € if flying with low-cost lines like RyanAir or so.

Direct return flights from Florida (USA) are generally around 500 USD (but can be as low as 300 USD with special discounts).
You can track flight prices on Yapta so you get warned of price drops, if any.

Please beware that visiting Machu Picchu might require extra time and an extra budget. You should plan for an extreme minimum of 1 day (waking up at 5am and getting back to Cusco at 8pm), and if you want to walk the complete Inca Trail (walking from Cusco to Machu Picchu), you'll have to plan for around 5 days and a proper long-in-advance booking for the guides that will (mandatorily) accompany you. Costs of train/trail + Machu Picchu entrance for foreigners are around a minimum of 150 USD (depending on your options, as of 2012) and are increasing each year.
