The Mayan Train will cross five states in southeastern Mexico. It will connect Palenque in Chiapas with a route that surrounds the Yucatan peninsula and connects Escárcega and the city of Campeche with the Yucatecan cities of Mérida and Valladolid, and towards the Quintana Roo cities of Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Tulum and Chetumal, before connecting again across the peninsula through the largest Mayan archaeological site in the region, called Calakmul.

In 2021, Bancomext granted financing for 59 million pesos for investment in construction, installation, adaptation, expansion, modernization and equipment of a plant (terminal for asphalt cement derivatives), including the acquisition of machinery and equipment to pave roads of access to the Mayan Train, these resources were 100% used as of December 31, 2021.

The southeast of Mexico has an extensive offer of tourist attractions. However, not all tourist destinations have been fully developed, their potential has not been exploited and many communities have been marginalized.

From the perspective of the Mexican government, the geographical conditions and the available connectivity infrastructure have limited the use of the potential of the region, as well as the opportunities for its inhabitants.

The south-southeast region shows a significant concentration of economic activities in a limited number of urban centers. These centers are distant from each other (on average by 320 km) and, for the most part, distant from the rest of the localities.

In addition, these urban centers are distant from the main productive regions of the country.
