Yucatan Train Tours |
Seat yourself on the one-of-a-kind Expreso Maya train that makes the journey as enriching as the destinations on this trip. Themed cars are painted and designed by the renowned Yucatecan artist, Carlos Millet. Be pampered by lavish 4-course meals in the Mérida dining car, inspired by the old haciendas of the region. Treat yourself to your favorite drink as you listen to a lecture in the Palenque club/bar car, which evokes the ruins of the Mayan city and the jungle of Chiapas. Relax in comfort on this new deluxe rail excursion as you re-live the golden years of the Yucatán Peninsula. The Expreso Maya brings back to life the glorious days at the beginning of the 20th century when the Peninsula had its own "gold fever" with the industry of the henequen fiber, & hundreds of kilometers of rails were built among the lush vegetation of the Mayan jungle to link the wealthy sisal haciendas with their plantations & with the prosperous cities of Mérida & Campeche.
