Cusco Airport Transfer to Ollantaytambo

The private transfer from Cusco Airport to Ollantaytambo takes between 1.5 and 2 hours with Taxi Cusco Tours A1, ideal for travelers heading straight to the Sacred Valley who want to skip Cusco city before catching their train to Machu Picchu.

This is one of the most requested transfers among travelers with a tight schedule: they land and need to be at the Ollantaytambo train station (PeruRail or Inca Rail) that same day. Going direct from the airport, with no stop in the city, saves real time in your itinerary.

Pickup point: Cusco Airport arrivals area
Route: via Chinchero and the Sacred Valley to Ollantaytambo
Drop-off: train station or hotel in Ollantaytambo
Approximate duration: 1.5–2 h

The route gradually descends from Cusco’s 3,400 m to Ollantaytambo’s 2,800 m, passing Sacred Valley viewpoints overlooking the Inca terraces of Chinchero. We recommend leaving the airport with at least 90 minutes of margin before your train departure to absorb any traffic or weather delays.

• Private vehicle — you don’t share the route or schedule with other passengers
• Flight tracking to adjust departure time if there’s a delay
• Direct coordination with your Machu Picchu train schedule
• Drivers who cover this road every day, not once a year
