Part 3/9:
The Tren Maya station, situated on a former airport site about 5km north of Palenque's city centre, is an impressive piece of infrastructure still under construction. Despite its partial completion, the station has been operational since January 2024, and it provides an efficient alternative to the bus services that dominated the region's transport system.
Upon entering the station, I was captivated by its modern architecture. After completing a ticket and ID check, I was issued a 'boarding pass' that streamlined the boarding process—just present it when boarding!
