hiya, are you no longer going to Lake Titicaca? What's your itinerary between the 13th and 16th ?
Right, re the trains, they're Peru Rail trains and there are 3 options, backpacker, the cheapest, but only leave cusco in am, early, 7am and returns 5pm. No later service. The next one up, is vistadome, from cusco latest is 6:15am returning 3:55pm, or the most expensive -hiram bingham 9am, back 6pm. HOWEVER if you leave from Ollanta you can leave in pm, at 2:55 arriving Aguas Calientes at 4:15pm. Then you'll return next day but not sure which time, it's much cheaper to buy a return from what I remember, and you have to come back on the one your ticket says .Look at the site:

Hope this helps. It has times and rates.
Re hotels, where do you want recommendations for, Cusco or Aguas calientes?
