The Tren Maya (Tsiímin K'aák), serving the Yucatan peninsula, is due to open on 15 December 2023. Construction began in June 2020.
The railway will run from Palenque in Chiapas state northeast towards the major tourist destination of Cancún in Quintana Roo state. There are two routes, encircling the peninsula along its north and east coasts. It aims to connect tourist destinations in the Caribbean with lesser-known sites inland, including historic Mayan sites from which it derives its name.
Eventually comprising 1525 route km, it will serve 34 stations. Tickets are on sale at Tren Maya e-tickets for Cancún - Merida and other trips between 16 and 23 December 2023.
The planed opening dates for Tren Maya lines are:
- Campeche-Cancún - 15 December 2023
- Palenque-Cancún - 31 December 2023
- Cancún-Tulum - 31 January 2024
- Tulum-Escárcega - February 2024
