Plan a trip to Mexico? Look at this Maya train guide

It was a pleasure to ride the rails in the process of writing this guide and end the entire way of the Maya train. Yes, I speak the whole Enjoy from the top to the bot. From my state Quintana Ruu in the east, the Ugadan Peninsula and the South Mexico across the South Mexico crossed five states to Chiabas in the west. Again, of course.

We saw everything from Golden City Adipose To the lake of the packer of seven colors. Add stunning rainforest and ruins Panel We explored three Bubelos magicos in total. My Pueblos Magicos should scratch them from the map, it is still there The funniest way I have found to explore Mexico.

I wish the Maya train included stops or near Megaicos, and gave us the luxurious way to go there.

So, what do you want to know before you go? Here I learned.

Get tickets in advance

The ticket lines are too long, so plan to go to the station an hour before if you want a good seat. This will help because it will take a while to buy tickets. It’s not as easy as buying a bus ticket, where you pay for your goal: it took us almost ten minutes to get two standard tickets.

Ticket office staff take a lot of information, so prepare your email address and phone number. This will save time, and if you do not speak Spanish, no misinformation: most of the time, we found that the ticket office staff did not speak any English. Don’t worry, station managers often do, so usually there is someone near to help in a pinch.

Alternatively, you can Buy your tickets online Download the app of the railway track to get tickets on the Maya train website or before you go.

Check the schedule before you go

At many stations, the Maya train departs only once a day, so check the table before going out.

If you are leaving a popular tourist destination like Packer, get tickets in the morning: they are likely to sell. There, the train departs only at 5 pm once a day, filling it faster. But the good news is that if you miss the train, Ado buses leave every half hour, so you won’t get stuck (but this is so fun).

Take Maya Train Bus

We started the adventure at the Cancan Airport because a dear friend flew down from the United States to join me in this adventure. Here, it was trying to charge 500 pesos to go to a taxi station. The official bus of the railway line arrived within ten minutes, it was 35 pesos; Less than US $ 2, so do not risk fraudulent.

Fortunately, on the rest of the track, at all our stops, the taxis were beautiful. If there is no spacecraft, bus or other transport, don’t worry about being charged too much. There is a specific price and has a taxi booth at a lot of stations that will call you and tell you the price.

This is very safe

My friend was very impressed with the safety of the journey. He felt very safe because he came down from the United States and got used to some friendly character of the American news cycle. More than one time, he referred to the friendship of the guards on the path.

This is true. Every time we arrived at a station, the National Guard (GN) agents were on the platforms to greet us, and were always polite and smiling. When we leave a station, they often say goodbye.

On the train, we noticed that two GN agents were traveling aboard the ship, and we laughed as the aisles crossed you. The Maya train is the safest way to travel around Mexico.

Bathrooms are awesome

Congratulations for public bathrooms is not something you hear every day. But the cleaners on the Maya train do a wonderful job.

The bathrooms also smell well. If you are like me, you can use public bathrooms only when you can no longer keep it. This is not something I always look forward to. But the cleaners travel with you on the train and continue to clean both sites and bathrooms.

It’s okay to pick up snacks

We traveled by train for a long time. There is a dining car with an excellent menu, but we always have a big breakfast from the train. On the ship, we wanted to snack things like when you were on a road trip.

So, there were our snacks – but – oh! – It created a lot of crushing foods. If you are a snocker, you know what I am talking about. Everything was right: within five minutes of finishing our snacks, the crush was beaten by cleaners, and our seats were again beautiful.

Maya train a smooth ride

If you get the disease, you are coming to a party, as my friend is doing. We traveled for more than ten hours on the train one day and she didn’t need her play once.

After all, I can come to the first place in my travel magazine. Using the pen. A train that causes a flower or flower without mistakes. That’s amazing to me.

Overall, this is a wonderful journey on the Maya train. I hope you will have the opportunity to explore some bublos and other sites. It is a wonderful way to get around Mexico.
