Maya Train to Cancún
Maya Train, the Best Option to Move Around in Yucatán
Southeastern Mexico comprises the states of Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo. The Maya Train is a modern transportation system that opened in 2023, connecting all these states on the Yucatán Peninsula in a fast, comfortable, and sustainable way.
From south to north, you can travel from Chetumal and Bacalar to Cancún, passing through idyllic destinations on the Riviera Maya such as Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Puerto Morelos.
You can also travel from east to west through the interior of Yucatán, traveling from Cancún to Mérida via Valladolid, Chichén Itzá, and Izamal.
Comfort, speed, punctuality, and sustainability are the attributes that best define the Maya Train, which has quickly become one of the main symbols of Mexican transportation.
Transport to Cancún from Chichén Itzá
The fastest way to go to Cancún from Chichén Itzá is the Maya Train. The journey between the two destinations takes approximately 2 hours, including stops in Valladolid, Nuevo Xcán, and Leona Vicario.
The Maya Train will drop you off at the Cancún Airport station, making it very convenient if you have a flight scheduled from that terminal.
Meanwhile, the Chichén Itzá station is located very close to this famous Mayan archaeological site, which is one of the major enclaves of pre-Columbian civilization in the interior of the Yucatán Peninsula.
For this reason, the Maya Train is the fastest, most comfortable, and most sustainable option for traveling hassle-free from Chichén Itzá to Cancún.
