This event marks the opening of all the stations planned for this emblematic infrastructure project, which has become one of the pillars of the current administration.

Let us remember that, in December 2023, the inauguration of the route that connects the historic city of Campeche with the Mayan Train station in Cancun took place.

A Project with a Long-Term Vision

The Mayan Train is not just an infrastructure project; It is a long-term vision that seeks to be the engine of tourism development in the Mexican southeast.

“It is not an exaggeration to say that there is no work of this magnitude currently underway (…) and in two decades, it will be the vanguard of tourism in the southeast,” López Obrador emphasized in a recent statement from Campeche.

The completion of this new phase of the Mayan Train not only promises to improve logistics and regional mobility but also enhance tourism, cultural exchange and economic development, reaffirming the government’s commitment to the progress and inclusion of all regions of the country.
