Tren Maya

Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced the Tren Maya project in his 2018 presidential campaign. On 13 August 2018, he announced the complete outline. The new Tren Maya put Nuevo Xcán on the route connecting Valladolid, Yucatán and Cancún, Quintana Roo.[2]

Characteristics

The design of the station was designed according to the conditions of the area. The space will have a series of natural elements such as gardens and vegetation typical of the local area.[3]

The cobbled pavement on the main road will be made of limestone, while the secondary roads and viewpoints will be made of sascab and the retaining walls will be made of stone material. It is also planned to have sustainable spaces with natural elements.[3]
