Traditional Sacred Valley ending in Ollantaytambo: leaves 07:20, ends 15:30
Taray viewpoint, Pisac, buffet lunch in Urubamba and Ollantaytambo. It ends at 15:30 at the Ollantaytambo archaeological park. It skips Chinchero and is the site's most affordable departure, US$29, because it doesn't include the return to Cusco.
The route, in the real order of the day
The same morning as the Traditional with return: Taray and Pisac before lunch. After Ollantaytambo the service ends there; the group returning to Cusco continues to Chinchero without you. The same morning, hour by hour, in the Traditional itinerary.
The buffet lunch is at 12:00 in Urubamba (2,871 m). The whole route stays below Cusco's 3,350 m: the Pisac site is at 3,300 m and Ollantaytambo at 2,790 m. Keep your luggage with you.

Who it's for, and who it isn't
It suits you if…
- You have a train to Aguas Calientes that afternoon or are sleeping in the valley.
- You're after the most affordable departure: US$29 with lunch included.
- You'd rather leave at 07:20 and have an 8-hour day.
It's not for you if…
- You want Maras and Moray: choose the Super ending in Ollantaytambo (US$31).
- You're sleeping in Cusco: the right choice is the Traditional with return (18:30, US$30), which also visits Chinchero.
- Your train leaves before 16:36: you wouldn't make it; choose the 16:36 Inca Rail or the 19:00 Peru Rail.
