I am currently planning a trip to the southeast of Mexico this summer, hoping to take in the recently reopened lines from:
Otherwise the next nearest airports appear to be Huatulco (HUX) 2.5 hours away with a handful of domestic flights, or Oaxaca (OAX) or Tuxtla Gutiérrez (TGZ) 5 hours away with a wide selection of domestic flights or a small choice of international flights.
Any advice on this would be much appreciated - has anyone travelled on any of these lines since their recent reopening? Does anyone have timetables for the lines or a better idea of how to reach Salina Cruz, short of a multi-hour coach journey from HUX, OAX or TGZ, or doubling back to/from Coatzacoalcos, which is near to Minatitlán (MTT) airport? I also suspect I might not have enough time to do both routes from Palenque to Cancún, so does anyone know if one is notably more scenic or worthwhile doing than the other?
Thanks in advance!
- Salina Cruz to Coatzacoalcos (Tren Interoceanico, line Z - the one with the exported HSTs )
- Coatzacoalcos to Palenque (line FA)
- Palenque to Cancún via Mérida or Tulum (Tren Maya)
