Riding the Maya Train Between Palenque and Cancun With Overnight Stops 

One of the best videos of tren maya covering different stations.

Riding the Maya Train between Palenque and Cancún offers a unique and scenic journey through southeastern Mexico. Officially launched in December 2023, the Tren Maya connects key destinations across Quintana Roo, Yucatán, Campeche, Tabasco, and Chiapas, with the full route covering 34 stops once complete. The journey provides travelers with the opportunity to explore a variety of cultural, historical, and natural attractions, including the ancient Mayan cities of Palenque, Edzná, and Chichén Itzá, as well as vibrant cities like Cancún and Mérida. Onboard, passengers can expect a comfortable experience with large windows, ample seating, and modern amenities. The train aims to promote sustainable tourism and economic development in the region​. Great video, Tim Leffel!

Thank you for sharing your honest and unbiased opinion/review on this train. It's certainly a promising transportation infrastructure for the peninsula.

Bienvenido 🇲🇽 ... Ojalá te guste mucho el recorrido y disfrutes tu estancia en México!!

They are building a train that will take you from station to airport and downtown Campeche. Nice video

Nice video, greetings from Vancouver Canada 🇨🇦

Awesome video Tim! Thank you so much 👍

You made this trip in March? You waited a long time to show us! Hey I had no idea it was running or the route, thanks for the video, I learned a lot from this. What a surprise!

Me gustó el vídeo excelente viaje yo he ido en tre ocasiones y la verdad se los recomiendo un viaje bastante cómodo 100% recomendable 🚝🚈🚅👌🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great overview, Tim! Very insightful.

The opposition party stopped and delayed the train (to spite AMLO) for 2 years so it should’ve been all done by now. Can’t wait to ride it. Great video.

The original plan for the maya train was to go into Campeche, but the administration and people from Campeche didn’t want the Maya train to go through the city. I remember watching a clip about this, but I just don’t remember the reason.

Hola, Muchas gracias!

Ojalá hayas disfrutado mucho tu viaje por esa parte de México.😊

IMO Tren Maya needs a station in Villahermosa that has a small but functioning international airport that could make it easier for tourists to hop on to the train from the Tabasco/Chiapas part of the route. The government just needs 54 kms of track to help connect the Palenque station (via the FA line) to the Villahermosa International airport.

Thank you for the nice video. its great to see it without the political point of view criticizing everything that this goverment has done for the country of Mexico. For the locals its a great opportunity to travel in a comfortable way, it means the opportunity to create a busines in the service or re sale industry. indeed it cost a lot of money to build infraestructure but with time it will prove to be a great idea. right now they only have the passanger trains. very soon they will unveil the first restaurant train and the sleeping trains too. keep the good work.!!!

Maybe the Campeche station is outside of town so that it's easier to route close to Edzna?

❤🇲🇽

be nice to own a house in valladolid,being able to fly anywhere from cancun airport. that was not possible before..no need for a car when you can take the train

No entiendo porque EEUU 🇺🇸 no invierten en trenes de pasajeros?

I’ve watched many RU-vidrs riding the train and all of them said they got WiFi and they got a ciabatta and a beverage in premiere class . Something happened but you could’ve asked and maybe get a kind of refund for the poor meal and the waiter should’ve visited you to ask you if you needed something else at least every half an hour , you should write to them

The train isn't finished

THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SEATS

Always unfinished works
