Frequently Asked Questions
The transfer from Cusco to Ollantaytambo takes, on average, between 1.5 and 2 hours, depending on traffic, roadworks, and weather conditions in the Sacred Valley. The most common tourist route passes through Chinchero and descends towards Urubamba before arriving in Ollantaytambo. Tourist transport services are usually door-to-door: you are picked up at your hotel in Cusco and dropped off at your accommodation in Ollantaytambo or at the train station. For private transfers, it is possible to request brief photo stops at panoramic viewpoints (subject to availability). We recommend allowing extra time if you are connecting by train to Machu Picchu.
The transfer includes door-to-door service, luggage assistance, and a modern tourist vehicle (sedan, SUV, or van) with air conditioning/heating and up-to-date maintenance. A professional and punctual driver, experienced in the Sacred Valley, will provide the service. One large suitcase and one carry-on bag per passenger are typically allowed; additional luggage or bulky items must be reported at the time of booking. Child seats and nighttime transfers are available upon request (subject to availability). Tolls and fuel are included in the Cusco–Ollantaytambo transfer fare. For your convenience, the provider offers WhatsApp contact and train schedule tracking to Machu Picchu.
You can book your Cusco to Ollantaytambo transfer online in just a few steps: choose the date, time, pick-up point (hotel, Airbnb, or airport), and destination (hotel or train station), and indicate the number of passengers and luggage. After confirming availability, make a secure payment by card or PayPal, and you'll receive an electronic voucher with your confirmation, driver details, and WhatsApp support. Some fares are per vehicle (private), and others are per person (shared). Share your flight number or estimated arrival time for better coordination. Present your digital voucher upon boarding; the driver will usually have a sign in the lobby identifying you.
Change and cancellation policies for tour transfers are generally flexible, but vary depending on the fare. As a guideline, many providers allow schedule changes with advance notice (e.g., 24 hours) without penalty, and offer full or partial refunds depending on how far in advance the cancellation is made. In case of flight delays or traffic, they will attempt to reschedule the transfer free of charge whenever possible. No-shows may incur a charge. During peak season (June–August), conditions may be stricter. To request modifications, please contact us by email or WhatsApp, providing your booking number. Always review the terms and conditions before paying.
If you're traveling to Machu Picchu, plan your Cusco–Ollantaytambo transfer well in advance. We recommend leaving 3–3.5 hours before your train's departure time, allowing 1.5–2 hours for the journey plus an additional 30–45 minutes at the Ollantaytambo train station. During peak hours (7:30–9:30 and 17:00–19:00) or the rainy season (November–March), allow extra time. Early morning transfers tend to be smoother and offer better views of the Sacred Valley. Check the train's baggage restrictions and consider leaving large suitcases in Cusco. Your transportation provider can help you coordinate schedules and connections without stress.
