Why hold the Tren Maya Festival?
To celebrate the culture, promote tourism, and strengthen the local economy
Cultural and Touristic Promotion
The Tren Maya Route Festival seeks to highlight and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of southeastern Mexico. By organizing an event that combines music, dance, art, gastronomy, and local traditions, visitors are offered an immersive experience that promotes cultural tourism and educates the public about the diversity and richness of the region.

Additionally, investment in infrastructure and services that benefit local communities in the long term is promoted.
