¡Hola!
Since 2023, @TrenMayaOficial has finally been running across the Yucatán Peninsula. Despite some controversy, it is one of the biggest rail projects in the Americas in the past 20 years, and I have to say, I was not ready to see such a great service in this part of the world! Here's my honest review on Tren Maya
Enjoy, and don't forget to like and leave a comment to support the channel :-)
