A project reshaping the southeast
The Maya Train links more than 1,500 kilometres across Quintana Roo, Yucatán, Campeche, Tabasco and Chiapas. Beyond tourism, it transforms daily mobility and brings together cities that were previously hours apart by road.
Impact on land value
Historically, a major transport infrastructure lifts land values within a few kilometres of its stations. In Tulum, Playa del Carmen, Valladolid and Mérida, upward pressure is already visible on land near stations and new road corridors.
Corridors to watch
The Cancún–Playa–Tulum corridor remains the most liquid. Valladolid and Mérida offer a more affordable entry point with upside tied to cultural tourism. Secondary stations call for caution: real ridership should be confirmed before speculating.
How to benefit wisely
Favour properties that remain attractive even without the train: strong location, nearby services, existing rental demand. Infrastructure should accelerate value, never be the only reason to buy.
