  • Reporter Maxwell Radwin and videographer Caitlin Cooper set out to ride the Tren Maya from Cancún toward Palenque and back. On their journey, they looked for evidence of deforestation, the relocation of local and Indigenous communities, and the pollution of water bodies - all part of multiple injunctions filed by communities and activist groups. Conversations with passengers and locals revealed that much of the country is conflicted about the train, which might attract tourism despite the ecological damage.

    From my point of view, a lot of the criticism to the proyect is politicaly motivated, im not saying that there havent been mistakes or that its a perfect project, but i do believe its for the better and it will help not only in the near future but also in the long run as the southeast develops, and not only in tourism, but to provide economical, quick, efficient and ecological movility to everyone in the region. I find that the voices that have genuine concern about the proyect are taken and morphed into political postures where everything related to the train is bad and a total failure and waste of money, which is specially obvious when you notice that the campaign of the oposition is mainly based on discrediting proyects like the train, and their proposals are to move it out of the peninsula, tear it out or just sell it off to a private operator.

      No, none of the critics, at least here from the region is politically motivated, by no means. This just has happened in the mañanera and all the people believing too much of it. You, and everybody who has that opinion just don’t know at all what they are talking about. And about the train well let’s not even discuss. We going to see what happens. For now I can tell you is that the whole region is going to be exploited to death, pushed by a system which never had and other motivation less than making big money, administrated by politicians who have been acting more like a mafia than anything else and keep doing so, and a general population who permit -and nowdays even applaud- it…, the train is just a very important piece which has the potential for the final colonization of that part, and now we are already having an explosion of all which already has been critical…. Just today I came out of the jungle of playa del Carmen, and thanks to all the invaders and inmobiliarity speculation, we can conclude that the jaguar is just gone from the area most of these animals have been seen just until a year ago. Months of intensive search with wild cameras has no success, so bye bye…. But hey next to the train there is now a new paved road to the jungle. Spposingly it was only for maintainence and not for public use, but nobody cares and controls anything, so now people can go faster and more comfortably to the jungle to just disappear it

      *We Mexicans are happy with this project and of course many measures were taken as part of the electric train, bridges were built so as not to affect the cenotes. Why don't they explain to us better how A United States company, ICA, is exploiting the shore of the beach in that area and they have done so for almost 30 years, but of course they do not make reports on this. I will leave the name of the company, ICA.

    Este gran proyecto fue obstaculizado por los opositores en ese Pais pero yo creo ha sido planeado con gran consiencia protegiendo la naturaleza y todas las evidencias de la gran cultura Maya !!! Yo creo seria mas exitoso su reportaje con un enfoque positivo y de confianza para muchos que aun no lo conocen!!!

      Contaminar ríos subterráneos y cenotes y la tala de árboles, etc. es proteger la naturaleza chiflada de quinta.

    Muy interesante saber la realidad de cómo se encuentra el tren maya y todo su entorno . Ver desde la profundidad de los cenotes hasta las opiniones de las personas .

    They were better off "hard to reach"...we displace the people we named it after. I'll never ride the train...I prefer to pay a local citizen who lives there than a tourist company who stole the land from people and animals. Remember they said "cargo"...don't forget they told you what it's really for.

      Disinformation and miss information ??? Stop watching TV search about Calica and Vulcan and all the destruction created by big hotels , most people that were relocated did it voluntarily and got a new house

      Why don't you make a video about Calica and Vulcan Materials or the luxury Hotels like Xcaret and yes there was people against it but mostly opposition and NGO's paid by USAid to try to destabilize our country but most Mexicans don't believe all those lies anymore that's why Televisa and TV Azteca are almost bankrupt not like in the USA people still believe in CNN and FOX News
