Sept. 13 and 14 in Cusco gives you enough time to do the city tour, including the ruins near the city (Tambomachay, Puka Pukara and Sacsayhuaman).

Now your day at Sacred Valley including Pisac, probably will let you visit one more site, probably Ollanytaytambo. So on day 13 or 14, you could do a visit to Chinchero and Moray, near the sacred valley but actually not within the valley. It's 45 minutes from Cusco, or less. So I'll program it for one of those days. I wouldn't accept a one day tour of Pisac+Ollantaytambo+Chinchero, cause it would be too rush. So be careful with what they offer to you.
Putucusi because it's free? or am i wrong? haha.

Any recommendations for tour companies/groups? i was just looking at the ones offered by different hostels, I assumed they were all the same. Ollantaytambo, Pisac, and Chinchero. So your suggestion is to do a Ollantaytambo+Pisac only and do Chinchero+Moray the next day.

Suggestions in Lima of course include historic Downtown Lima and a good restaurant (lot of options!), but tell us what are your preferences, what do you like to visit, see (more ruins? museums? old/bohemian neighborhoods? nightlife) to give you more detailed suggestions.
We're pretty much up for whatever, but for nightlife we're not really the dancing/club type haha.
