Inauguration of the Mayan Train
Today marks an advance in the modern history of Mexico with the inauguration of the Mayan Train.
Follow the live broadcast of the Inauguration of the Mayan Train live and in real time:
An initiative that promises to revolutionize transportation and tourism in the southeast of the country.
This project, a centerpiece in President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s development agenda, has been designed to connect diverse regions, promoting not only mobility but also economic and cultural inclusion.
Since the project’s conception, the Mayan Train has been the subject of national and international attention, generating both expectation and debate.
This railway system, which covers approximately 1,500 kilometers of tracks, aims to link the main cities and tourist areas of five states: Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán and Quintana Roo.
Inauguration of the Mayan Train
The first stage of the Mayan Train, which opens today, connects Campeche with Cancun. This route is a window to a region rich in cultural and natural heritage.
Passengers will be able to enjoy the comfort and efficiency of modern service, while exploring the diversity and beauty of the Mexican southeast.
The importance of the Mayan Train transcends mere physical connectivity. This project is an effort to revalue and provide access to the historical and archaeological wealth of Mexico.
Sites such as Palenque, Chichén Itzá and Tulum, along with others less known but equally impressive, will now be within reach of many more visitors.
This, in turn, promises to boost local and regional tourism, generating economic opportunities for communities that have until now been marginalized from the benefits of mass tourism.
On a logistical level, the Mayan Train has been a significant challenge. The construction of the roads and the preparation of the convoys, carried out by companies such as Alstom Mexico, have required meticulous planning and considerable investment.
In addition, the project has included archaeological rescue initiatives, supervised by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), to protect and preserve cultural heritage in areas affected by construction.
Ticket sales have generated great excitement, reflecting public interest in this new service. Although tickets have initially been sold through external platforms, it has been announced that the Mayan Train will soon have its own ticketing system, making access even easier for users.
This December 15, the Mayan Train is not just a train. It is a bridge to the past and the future, a promise of sustainable development and a testament to Mexico’s ability to undertake large-scale projects.
With its launch, the Mayan Train is ready to become a symbol of innovation and pride for Mexico.
