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 have heard PeruRail has a bag check at the train station in Ollanta, which makes sense since they don't want you to bring large bags on the train. If you do have to go back to the Tambo though, it is on the way if you are taking a taxi. A train from MP straight to Cusco would also be an option though.

The plus of spending the night in Cusco, though, is that you're right by the airport for your AM flight.
I concur.... We spent the last night in Cusco with plans to explore, but despite already being in the Sacred Valley for 3 days, the altitude in Cusco really hit us. All we managed to do was have dinner and go to sleep.
