Good to know

Before you travel

Best timingdo this tour on your first or second day. The valley is lower than Cusco, so it is a gentle way to acclimatize before Machu Picchu.
End in Ollantaytamboif you are taking the train to Machu Picchu the same evening, we can leave you at Ollantaytambo station instead of returning to Cusco.
Pisac marketit is busiest on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Maras & Moray routethis is a longer day (pickup around 6:45 am) with more time on the road. The salt mines are best photographed in the dry season.
Walkingthere are plenty of stone steps at Pisac and Ollantaytambo. Your guide adapts the pace.
