The next president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, stressed that the Mayan Train not only covers more than 1,500 kilometers of infrastructure and the wonder of the route, but also the rescue of archaeological sites and the protection of vast hectares of Protected Natural Areas.
During her recent visit with President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Claudia Sheinbaum expressed her admiration for the Mayan Train on her social network X, calling it a historical feat.
“Yesterday we were in evaluation meetings for the Mayan Train and we traveled from the Teya station in Kanasín, Yucatán, to the Cancún Airport station in Quintana Roo. This work is a historic feat,” Sheinbaum highlighted.
The virtual president-elect emphasized the importance of the rescue of archaeological sites, the declaration of large areas as protected, the territorial reorganization and the richness of the Mayan culture.
“It is not just about the more than 1,500 kilometers built in five years and the beauty of the journey. It is the rescue of archaeological sites, the declaration of hundreds of thousands of hectares of Protected Natural Areas, the investment for the well-being of dozens of communities, territorial reorganization and recognizing the greatness of the Mayan culture then and now,” stated Sheinbaum.
