Piggybacking on this topic.

We are scheduled to arrive in CUZ at 1225. We need to get a ride from CUZ to Ollantaytambo and are planning on the 330p train. We need to dump our big bags at our hotel in Ollantaytambo before taking the train to Aquas Calientes (overnighting there for MP the next day).

So questions:

1. Is 3 hours enough time to get from CUZ to Ollantaytambo, drop the bags off at the airport and catch the 330p Perurail train? The next Perurail isn't until 7p. There is an Inca Rail train at 1630.

Buy in advance or buy there? Trip is in early November.

2. Should we book a car with the hotel or find one in CUZ. It's 50 soles for arranging a ride at the airport vs. USD 50 for booking with the hotel. How difficult (and time consuming) is arranging the ride at CUZ if one doesn't have sufficient Spanish?
