What time does the Sacred Valley day trip start and finish?

The Traditional starts collecting guests at 7:20 AM and drops you back in Cusco around 6:30 PM. Super Sacred Valley picks up from 6:20 AM and returns around 7:00 PM. Your exact pickup time arrives on WhatsApp the night before.

Can the order of the stops change?

Slightly, yes. Traffic, weather and the situation at each site can move the times by a few minutes or swap the order; your guide adjusts the day so you still see every stop.

Is there free time during the day?

On the Traditional, the Pisac visit includes time at the craft market and a silversmith’s workshop. On Super Sacred Valley, you get 30 minutes in Pisac town after the Inca site.

At 12:00 PM on the Traditional and 12:30 PM on Super Sacred Valley, for 50 minutes, in Urubamba.

Can the day end in Ollantaytambo instead of Cusco?

Yes, on both routes and at the same price, if you are taking the train to Machu Picchu. How the Ollantaytambo ending works. Ending there, the Traditional visits Pisac and Ollantaytambo (not Chinchero), and Super Sacred Valley visits Chinchero, Moray, Maras and Ollantaytambo (not Pisac).
