The Mayan train route includes the Maxcanú station, which has been included in the year 2020 to be part of this project. It promises great economic growth for the social and tourist development of the region.
What to see in Maxcanú?
The town of Maxcanú is located in the Yucatan Peninsula and is characterized for being a town of yesteryear where the architecture dates back to colonial times and the Mayan origins of the preceding civilizations are constantly remembered.
In this sense, a Mayan Train station will be built in Maxcanú so that it can continue to travel along these important points. By stopping in Maxcanú, you will be able to get to know the surrounding towns and, among other things, the Petenes Biosphere Reserve.
It is a national reserve that has been declared as such since 1999, and is located between the municipalities of Calkiní, Hecelchakán, Tenabo and Campeche. In it, there are ecosystems of great importance not only for the area and Mexico, but also for the world: the petenes.
These are islands with very specific vegetation that can only be found in three places in the world: the Yucatan Peninsula, Florida, and Cuba. For this reason, it is a conserved area that must be preserved over time, as it is an area that houses a very delicate and important ecosystem for the world.
In this way, you will have the opportunity to visualize said biosphere and learn more about the ecosystems it houses and the importance they have. In addition, very close to this site you will find the location of the most important Mayan community that currently exists in this area of the state.
In this way, the Mayan train tour in Maxcanú promises a series of interesting experiences to learn more about the beginnings of this civilization in the state.
