Cusco to Ollantaytambo is the Sacred Valley in one drive: Chinchero’s weaving cooperatives, Moray’s experimental circular terraces, the Maras salt pans and Pisac’s ruins and Sunday market, ending at the Inca fortress town where trains to Machu Picchu depart.

Peruways runs the transfer with English-speaking driver-guides, hotel pickups in Cusco, and a lunch stop in Urubamba on the full-day version. The straight drive is 2 hours; the Sacred Valley tour version runs 6-7.

Visit Peruways to book the Cusco-to-Ollantaytambo day. Most travellers end it in Ollantaytambo, overnight there, and catch the first train to Aguas Calientes the next morning.
