Sacred Valley Day Trip Ending in Ollantaytambo: for the train to Machu Picchu

See the valley and finish the day in the town where the trains leave — at the same price.

In short

The option, in short

Both Sacred Valley day tours can end in Ollantaytambo instead of returning to Cusco, at the same price: US$30 on the Traditional and US$32 on Super Sacred Valley. Ollantaytambo is where the trains to Machu Picchu leave. Ending there, the Traditional visits Pisac and Ollantaytambo (not Chinchero), and Super Sacred Valley visits Chinchero, Moray, Maras and Ollantaytambo (not Pisac). The train ticket is not included.

Suggested trains after the tour: Inca Rail from 4:36 PM onwards, or PeruRail at 7:00 PM. Tell us your train time when you book.

On WhatsApp, so we can confirm how it fits with your day.

4
