This thread has been incredibly helpful (not just about the hotel but about planning a trip to Machu Picchu in general).
So far, I've booked one night on the following schedule:
1. Arrive CUS on first flight from LIM. Take taxi to Tambo and check-in.
2. Explore Sacred Valley
3. Next morning, take taxi to Ollanta and catch train to Machu Picchu
4. Tickets already purchased for 10am(2nd group) climb of Huaynu Picchu
5. End of day, take train down and then head to CUS for the night (room book) and some exploring
6. Flight out the following morning
A couple of questions:
1. Does it make sense to leave my bags at Tambo while i'm at MP during the day or is there somewhere in Ollanta that I can store them? Otherwise, it sounds like I'd be taking a taxi from Ollanta to CUS with a pitstop at Tambo (unless that's no biggie or not out of the way)
2. Does it make sense to spend 2 nights at Tambo even though I do want to explore CUS a bit? Would you choose a 2nd night at Tambo or would you recommend the last nigth in CUS?
I realize it's a short/quick trip - it's just how I do it.
