Mon-9/10
Train to Agua Caliente
and then the following Wed/Thurs, we'll do Chinchero, Moray, and Maras. <- Any suggestions for this? Tour or no tour?
On Sunday travel to Ollantaytambo via Pisac and Urubamba, don't go first to Ollantaytambo. You could also consider staying the night from Saturday to Sunday in Pisac. It's somewhat lower than Cuzco, therefore easier to adapt to the altitude.
On your way back from Ollantaytambo to Cuzco (after MP), hire a taxi and ask the driver to stop at Chinchero, Moray and Maras (it's on the way), different route than Pisac however.
