Is it for me?
This tour is probably the most popular way to combine these 2 tours to utilise the interesting facts about the culture and history of the Sacred Valley as an introduction and backdrop to the wonder of Machu Picchu. Making the best use of your time to reduce backtracking and especially as until July there is no train track between Cusco and Ollantaytambo you need to get to Ollantaytambo to take the train to Aguas Calientes so it is not only your best option but one of your few!

Also the service from Ollanta station have returned to normal and for this option includes a private transport by bus from Cusco or viceversa.

Program Itinerary
Day 1: Sacred Valley Cusco Pisac Urubamba Ollantaytambo Aguas Calientes
At 8.20am meet at SAS Travel office or transfer from your hotel at earlier time if coordinated. In a tourist bus we travel over the mountains and then we drop 1500 feet to the valley floor of the sacred Urubamba river and the village of Pisac where we will visit a traditional market and you can buy some local souveniers. We then drive up to explore the extensive ruins of Pisac with stunning views over the valley. For those who would prefer to spend more time in the market instead of visiting the ruins, advise your guide so he can organise a time and place to pick you up when they return through the market. We continue on to Urubamba where we stop for you to have lunch. A further 30 mins drive takes us to Ollantaytambo surrounded by the sacred mountains, where we will again discover the magnificence of the Incan constructions and the beauty of the local people in their traditional dress.
You will then be escorted to the train station to board the valle train. This is a 1.5 hr journey to Aguas Calientes where the representative from Hotel Viajeros will meet you and settle you into your accommodation. You have free time to visit the hot springs if you like and then dinner and overnight in the hotel. Dinner is included for you at Hotal Viajeros.
Day 2: MACHUPICCHU- OLLANTA- CUSCO
After breakfast we take the bus at approx 05.30am and arrive at the ruins around 06.20am. Optional for those who would like to walk up earlier from 4.30am, please let us know of your interest. We recommend in low season using the bus up to conserve your energy for your 2 hour group tour exploring Machu Picchu (2,400 m) and optional hikes to follow.
eg climb Huayna Picchu mountain (2,700 m, 90min, steep gradient)
Walk to the Temple of the moon (3-4 Hr)
Walk to "Intipunku" the Sun`s Gate where end classic Inca Trail, ; ( 1.5 hr )
Walk to the Inca bridge located at south from Machupicchu( 1 hr )
All these walks are without a guide, are clearly signed and easy to find.
However in high season June to Oct people who want to climb Huayna Picchu mountain within the Machu Picchu site almost need to walk up to be first in the long line of people who arrive before the buses to get one of the limited Huayna Picchu permits. If you definitely want to climb Huayna Picchu mountain please let us know in the Cusco office at you checkin.
Your guide will advise you of necessary details for the afternoon train return to Ollantaytambo with private transport on to Cusco, arriving 9:30 pm approx.
