If you're looking for a way to get to Cancún from Playa del Carmen, don't hesitate to book your one-way ticket on the Maya Train, the Yucatán Peninsula's railway.
Maya Train, the Most Modern Transport in Yucatán
Launched in late 2023, the Maya Train is one of Mexico’s most modern transportation services. It's a railway line connecting the five southeastern states of the country: Chiapas, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo.
Its state-of-the-art infrastructure allows for quick connections between the main destinations of the Riviera Maya (Tulum, Playa del Carmen, and Puerto Morelos) and Cancún.
In addition to traveling along the coast, the Maya Train offers comfortable travel to Chichén Itzá, Valladolid, Mérida, and other notable destinations in the interior of Yucatán.
The speed, comfort, and sustainability of its cars are the hallmarks of this modern train.
