That worked for us. For rail tickets we emailed PeruRail as our CC kept getting rejected. Through email it was a breeze. I'd agree that spending the last day in Cusco would be worth it.

Enjoy!
Good tip on using the Spanish only to book. Using English only allows you to see availability, you need Spanish version to reserve and pay. I did book and got the 10 am climb so I will take your advice on getting a taxi to Ollantayambo in the morning and than we can take the train all the way back at night.

Will also spend our last day in Cusco to take it in.
