President López Obrador asserts that the Maya Train will be fully operational by late 2024

“A lot of people will visit. The train will begin running normally before the year ends. I won’t be around by then; the president will, but General Vallejo has already committed to ensuring the train is completed, and they always deliver,” López Obrador said.

“These are historic days for our beautiful state, especially for southern Quintana Roo, which suffered from neglect for many years. Ichkabal, once unknown, is now unveiled to the world. The entire globe will be able to witness the majesty of Ichkabal, a fundamental part of the magnificent and ancient Mayan culture,” she remarked. Lezama Espinosa criticized previous governments for using the archaeological site as a campaign promise without delivering.

“As we always say, success must come with shared prosperity. The residents of this region should be the main beneficiaries of this success. That is the essence of the new agreement for the well-being and development of Quintana Roo,” she added.

“And one of these sites, Ichkabal, will soon open its doors thanks to Promeza. We are very grateful for this initiative from the president and the support of the Ministry of National Defense, which made access to Ichkabal possible and enabled the infrastructure development needed to open the site to visitors. We also extend our thanks to all the workers who have contributed to this archaeological effort,” Prieto said.
