Maya Train from Mérida
Maya Train, the Most Modern Transport in the Yucatán
From 2023, the five states of southeast Mexico (Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo) are connected with the Maya Train: a comfortable, fast, and sustainable means of transport.
This railway allows you to explore in a short time the coastline of the Riviera Maya and the interior of the peninsula of Yucatán, connecting both destinations to places such as Mérida, Izamal, Chichén Itzá, Valladolid, or Cancún.
With your ticket for the Maya Train, you can easily move around and enjoy beautiful Yucatecan landscapes comfortably. It's one of the most beautiful areas in Mexico!
Maya Train Routes
When booking your ticket, you can opt for one of the following journeys:
Maya Train to Valladolid from Mérida
From the estación de Mérida-Teya station, you can enjoy a journey of about 1 hour and 50 minutes to Valladolid, including stops along the way in Tixkokob, Izamal, and Chichén Itzá.
Once you reach Valladolid, one of the most fascinating cities in the interior of Yucatán, you can enjoy the town at your own pace. Its historic center houses emblematic monuments, such as the Iglesia de San Servacio, the Palacio Municipal, the Museo de San Roque, and the Convento de San Bernardino de Siena.
If you're passionate about Pre-Columbian culture, don't miss the day trip to Chichén Itzá or this Maya cooking class.

In Cancún, one of the top destinations in the Mexican Caribbean, awaits you. It's a city with numerous resorts, luxury hotels, shops, nightclubs, and restaurants, so there are plans and leisure options for every taste.
If you've never visited the city, you can start getting to know it by taking this tour of Cancún. If, on the other hand, you're looking for culinary experiences, this taco tour of Cancún is a must on your itinerary.
