Sacred Valley tour from Cusco to Ollantaytambo

Tour the valley from Cusco and finish in Ollantaytambo, where the Machu Picchu train leaves: you skip the drive back and gain half a day. Same price as the standard route.

One less round trip

Many travellers do the Sacred Valley one day, sleep in Cusco and get up early the next to drive back down and catch the Machu Picchu train. Ending the tour in Ollantaytambo skips that return: by the end of the day you are already in the station town.

You can do it on either itinerary. The Classic covers Taray, Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Chinchero; the VIP adds Moray and Maras for all five sites. The service is the same as on the standard itinerary: pickup at your hotel in downtown Cusco, bilingual guide and buffet lunch.

Plan your train with us

Since the arrival time depends on the route and the day, message us on WhatsApp with your train time when you book. We then adjust the end of the route with you and advise on luggage.

What you should know

  • Check with us how to organise your luggage that day.
  • Ollantaytambo sits at 2,790 m, lower than Cusco: a good place to spend the night.
