The Mayan Train, one of the Mexican government's most ambitious projects, has been the subject of debate and controversy since its conception. Despite initial expectations that this new transportation system would significantly boost tourism in the southeastern region of Mexico, recent reports suggest that interest among tourists is lower than expected. This situation raises crucial questions about the reasons behind this lukewarm reception and the possible implications for the future of tourism in the region.

The Tren Maya is a rail project that aims to connect important tourist and archaeological sites in southeastern Mexico, including the states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo. With an extension of approximately 1,525 kilometers, the train is designed to facilitate access to various tourist attractions, such as Mayan ruins, beaches and nature reserves, thus contributing to the economic development of these areas.
