Perfect place to rest before Machu Picchu. We came here at the end of a long day in the sacred valley. The site was gorgeous and even better to see as the sun was setting! Very cool history here with…Full review by Maps20883777035

Q:
When are the last visitors allowed to enter the park? From some reading I have done, it seem like you may have to be inside the park by 5:00 PM. Then, if you make it inside the park before 5pm, you have until 6pm to look around before the park actually closes. Could someone please confirm this? Thanks

Q:
My husband and I will be spending 1 night in Ollantaytambo (arriving late on the Vistadome train from Machu Picchu). The next morning we’d like to tour the ruins at Ollaytantambo, then visit Moray > Salinas de Maras > Chinchero on our was back to Cusco. I’m assuming 2-3 hours in Ollaytantambo then another 6 visiting the rest of the Sacred Valley on our way back to Cusco. Does this sound do-able with a 7am start? Does anyone have any tips to make this efficient?

I do not think you can enter that early, but couple of hours should be enough. We hired a private car (100 soles) to take us to moray and salt pits. Lots of cars on street and can negotiate price. It would be another 10 soles if included chinchero, but we ran out of time. We left at 2.

Q:
Is there an established tour group for Archaeological Park that I can pre-arrange the tour? Is it worth having a tour guide?
