Im hopefully going to be traveling south america in late jan early feb period and was wondering if machu picchu was still accessible or safe to travel to during the wet season or is it a definate no no.

Machu Picchu is still accessiblel in January and Fenruary, it doesnt close. The Inka Trail (4day and 2 day) is closed during February due to maintanance and rain.

I wouldnt says it a definate no no. Machu Picchu is not like a beach resort where if it rains all is spoiled. The mist and rain give the ruins a mystical touch and there are much less tourist crowds during Jan-March. The weather is warmer during rainy season as well.

The best months weather-wise is spring and fall (April-May and Sep-Nov). But if you cant choose, any time is good for Cuzco and Machu Picchu.

Hope this helps and the links below have more information
