Private One-Way Transfer: Hotel → Ollantaytambo Station
Your journey begins with pick-up right at your hotel door — or any address you choose in Cusco — followed by a scenic drive through the Sacred Valley. Along the way you’ll pass small Andean towns, farmland, and mountain scenery that make the ride part of the experience, not just a means to get there.
Pick-up time is flexible and built around your train schedule. We recommend leaving at least 3 hours before departure from Ollantaytambo station to allow for road conditions and give yourself time to relax before boarding.
Private Return Transfer: Ollantaytambo Station → Hotel
Coming back from Machu Picchu, your driver will be waiting at the station to take you directly to your hotel or preferred address in Cusco. This service runs 24 hours a day, so whether your train arrives at noon or after midnight, transportation is already arranged — no need to negotiate with taxi drivers at the station.
WHY BOOK THIS TRANSFER
Why Book This Transfer Before Reaching the Ollantaytambo Station
Most travelers fly into Cusco and go directly to the Sacred Valley to begin acclimatizing at a lower altitude before continuing to Machu Picchu. Doing that leg in a shared shuttle or a street taxi means waiting for other passengers, unclear pricing, and drivers unfamiliar with mountain roads. A private transfer solves all three:
- No waiting on other travelers — the vehicle leaves when you’re ready, not when it fills up.
- One flat rate per vehicle, not per person, agreed before you travel.
- Flight monitoring, so delays or early landings don’t leave you stranded.
- Direct route knowledge of the Sacred Valley’s towns, train stations, and hotel access points.
- Assistance with luggage and any questions along the way.
Additional
Add Extra Stops in the Sacred Valley
Since the vehicle is private and exclusive to your group, you can turn this transfer into a short Sacred Valley excursion. Popular add-ons include:
- Pisac — market and Inca terraces
- Calca — Andean countryside views
- Urubamba — the valley’s main town
- Chinchero — traditional weaving communities
- Ollantaytambo archaeological site — before boarding your train
Just let us know when booking so we can plan enough time before your train departure.
