Mexico's hidden underground world is under threat by the Maya Train | Mini-doc

- An intricate network of subterranean caverns, rivers and lakes wind almost surreptitiously beneath Mexico’s southern Yucatan peninsula. Now, construction of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s crown jewel project - the Maya Train - is rapidly destroying part of that hidden underground world, already under threat by development and mass tourism.

Vulcan Materials is destroying a big area near this place, nobody is talking about this. When Parque Xcaret was built, it changes subterranean water streams, nobody said nothing.
One ecocide (Xcaret) is not an excuse to perpetre another one. I do know the area quite well and it is just heart breaking to see the ECOCIDE that is happening and the worst thing is; that the gov is the one and only responsible for it.
@@teresamexico309 I know, but it is time to talk about Vulcan too
@@mracult Vulcan/Calica is an Ecocide and so is "Tren Maya".
@@teresamexico309shut down xcaret, Vulcan and the new construction happening along the coast. Leave the land to locals.
@@FRANKI18136 I wish I could do it and leave some areas even with out letting any human (not even locals) in as it is done in some countries like Iceland.
"Tren Maya" is an ecocide as well. Wonder who owns the land along its path?
This is pure insanity and unadulterated greed. I'm stunned
Seeing those pillars entering the pristine caves is something very hard to swallow
😢
After the earth is destroyed will humans still ask how it happened?.......
When I was 15 I visited near by and was lucky enough to swim in a cenote it was magical and this is sad 😢
I do know the area quite well and it is heart breaking to see this ecocide and worst it is the gov the only one responsible for it.
Now show the mines that are own by U.S and Canada companies in Mexico
Ok and we forget this MASSIVE AND INSANE ECOLOGICAL DISASTER!
@@MiguelAngel-rd4wxNope, but the media just care about Maya train because is a witch hunt about this president. Development comes with a price.
Actually I'm on the government's side here. This will sound harsh. But a few pillars in a cave is better than an urban sprawl of cars above or crossing the jungle. The Pillars will eventually calcify over given time and that system can heal.
So the choice is a few concrete pillars or clearing of a forest. If the elevated line wasn't built you'd have a train tract breaking
up the forestry migration. So you can't win 100% of the time. The only advice i'd give to this is to reinforce the Pillars even more at the base and conjoin the pillars to the ground to ensure the rock doesn't dissolve away quicker than nature allows.
Sad that we aren't learning anything. We should take cars of this world, not destroy it. This is our only home.
This is jaw-dropping footage.... how sad!!! Wheres the petition!?
You're being manipulated.
And now talk about the united states destroying an native territory just to build a 202 freeway
The saddest part about this aside for the ecocide is the communities of people that will eventually get displaced. Sure, it’s going to bring more business into small businesses and such but it’ll only be a matter of time until corporations begin flocking into yet another untouched ecosystem all for the end goal of making billions. Absolutely disgusting.
I had no idea that this was happening until I watched this video....thank you for enlightening me. Muy muy triste.
wow, this is so sad!
Very shocking! Such a beautiful area! Lots of beautiful areas are turning in to a Disneyland?
THE GOVERNMENT OF MEXICO CAN CARE LESS OF NATURE AND CLIMATE …
Remember that US has Excavation mines in yukatan peninsula, Mexico, which exports Stone to the U.S but no one says a thing about it witch is also destroying the senotes in the erea.
Mexico, what are you doing?! Mexico city is on the verge of running out of water. Do you really want to mess with the little clean water you currently have left?!
Like mexico city is not 1600km of Yucatan and 2300km taller then Yucatan sea level😂 clearly not possible to bring weather there
I am Mexican and I'm totally disagree with this project, I will never get on that train because they have damaged the ecosystem with their construction. 😢
So sad 😞
I see water bubbling up through little holes all along the little ridge I live on. I know the Big Chestnut Creek is over the ridge to the north. It’s another world under the ground.
Every nation destroys a lot as it climbs the economic ladder, our Mexican friends and neighbors are no different, dumb and greedy sometimes , just like us.
We cannot criticize them.
Dumb ang greedy all the time😂
I told them. Now they got a water problem. The elderly don’t listen to the younger generation.
@@SammyHangDemonofDemonsMonterrey and mexico city are thousands of kilometers in distance
why didnt they draw a line around this place and not through it? besides ecoside, that ground looks seriously unstable to hold a train... possibly acidic water, soft ground that erodes, possible seismic activity,.... just a disaster waiting to happen
not to mention the disrespect to their ancestors when they used to revere the water
Woke
There is no real "around it." The entire peninsula consists of coral deposits created over millions of years. That said, you are right. It is a guaranteed disaster someday.
@anuaralejandro8898 more like being pragmatic no?
Todo por la borrachera y el baile😮
Every single State Politician in Florida, Ala, Georgia, Miss, Oklahoma, & Texas should be FORCED TO WATCH THIS!! Because we have aquifers all over the US. THIS SHOULD BE A HUGE RED FLAG FOR PROTECTING DRINKING WATER IN OUR AQUIFIERS! !!!!!
Que triste destrucción por un ser malvado
Cartels are gonna love this.
Enque fueron alla., me imajino por caretera que isieron algun tiempo atras. Y paso lo mismo
The locals have been complaining about this from the very beginning. Its destroying the underground river system. Tren Maya, asit's called, has had many problems since it started running
Much love for the cabesita de algodon❤❤❤
It's happening. Mexico is about to do what the US has done .
Jalisco Y Zacatecas here to serve patron desde California a Florida a North Carolina para tras para Florida 🎉🎉🎉🎉
At least they will have more railways to slang dope much easier , at a faster rate, without human intervention at those speeds. RIP to the nature surrounding these once beautiful caverns.
A day may be coming where pure water becomes worth its weight in gold.
Future wars, (actually some current ones,) are not over oil, but clean water. We can live without oil, but only a few days without water. Water disputes are everywhere, including where I live.
@@sherrillsturm7240 The issues can appear suddenly but are the result of a longer period of time. Infrastructure needs to be updated for sure! Great point.
I cant even believe they are doing this!!!! This beautiful place!!! Whats wrong with people!!!
Mexico City is running out of water and now their genius President is doing this! WTH 🤦♀️
Crazy
What about all the resorts hotels in Cancun?
SEND ANDRES OBRADOR TO PRISON FOR THIS
Greed, money, ignorance, will destroy humans.
I'm sorry Mother Earth
we are turning your world into a waste disposal.
The video contradicts itself when it talks about pollution due to a poor drainage system which is precisely why more infrastructure had to be brought to the region (it's already an important tourist destination), not to mention the part where it talks about creating a montage by cutting parts of the sequence lol. Now talk about the reforestation and restoration projects that were made alongside the Mayan train.
😢😢😢
Like if in other countries didn’t do the same…
Viva la 4T💪🏽!
who knew the earth has a basement ??????? so many places are like this
Amlo ❤❤❤
This is the consequence of the ignorance of the mexican president lopez who has no idea about the environment impact in the long term. what can you expect from an ignorant president not even capable to speak his own language properly?
:( such a shame....
then they should shut down all xcaret parks and resorts and the new project in Valladolid and all the hotels in xelha, playa del carmen and can cun... but they don´t talk about it. why???
Some bodies hood
HORRIBLE! UNBELIEVABLE!
Progress comes at a price. Mexico needs it for its people.
Down right disgusting, hwat greed does.
Amlo why? 😢
How about making a documentary about vulcan calica? You! The media channels provide information that most big media groups provide, only one side of the story, specially if affect a government the us or the eu don't like, we mexicans noticed that you want to show world something is not, stop misleading people and do more for them! No matter what you guys try to do we gonna keep doing whats best for our country!
One ecocide does not justify another. Calica is an Ecocide and so is the "Tren Maya" but Calica is already expropriated (the gov said it is closed) and the "Tren Maya" keeps going.
@@teresamexico309 ya ya cual chinche ecocidio? So, in another countries do not cut trees to do infrastructure projects? Or in another countries just construct over or around them! I love trees and I get it, but come on! No sean doble moral!
El cacas is guilty.
Todo esto tiene que ver porque les cancelaron calica
Calica es un Ecocidio y el Tren Maya también lo es. Preguntate porque hasta ahora al final del sexenio están "clausurando" Calica?
The great goat, baal
🤬🤬🤬
También saca el video donde Por Años se llevaron tierra de a un lado Y Por Años .... Para sus carteras a estados unidos para que les dé Vergüenza!!!!
Justificas ese desastre ecológico?, increíble
@@tamandare82 Pero hay te encargo si miras a Peña nieto ... Me recuerdas de la Autopista de doble carril 🛣️ que se robó de Zacatecas a Guadalajara...
@@ElCapricho-420 si lo veo le digo, no te preocupes 😂
Todos esos cenotes y cuevas huviran dejado billones no millones tan solo en turismo que le gusta la naturalesa el tren de podria haver buscado otra ruta o altetnativa
Horrible 😔
Qué dios nos bendiga y nos perdone por permitir esto.
😮😮😊
No is not STOP THE LIES Mexico building the tren Maya is a sovereign decision DESTINED TO HELP THE POOR PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH,
stop lying
ALSO CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FIRST MEXICAN PRESIDENTA❤
DOCTORA CLAUDIA ❤
VIVA MORENA, VIVA MEXICO 🇲🇽
VIVA LA CUARTA TRANSFORMACION❤
It only benefits the white Spaniards & white people
Donde mintieron?
Genocide, ecocide. Blame me
Scandaloso
Say it! You’re a bot! Say it bot!
Well don't come here to live when you run out of water
What a smart comment
😡🤬🤬🤬💩
Se caen aviones desde el cielo, y no por eso cerramos companias de aviones. Se pueden caer en cualquier lugar en esa ruta. No por eso dejamos de evolucionar.
Tan simple como haber cambiado la ruta de ése tren Faramaya y evitar el daño a los cenotes y cuevas. ¿Porque no cambiaron la ruta? ¿Quienes son los dueños de las tierras aledañas?. Hubieran podido minimizar el daño.
Como el Tenochtitlan 😂. Al fin y al cabo seguimos amando a México con imperfecciones, o con belleza. Podemos hacer otro oyo para nuestras futuras generaciomes.
Drill Baby Drill 👍🏻.
Look nice a concrete column down there, abstract art, solo coloquen botes para la basura, multen a quien tire basura, que los hoteles se hagan cargo de reclicar agua y basura, , no mas tiraderos al.aire libre , planten mas arboles , hagan algo en lugar de estar chillando
Los municipios en la ruta, no tienen sistemas de drenaje, ni rellenos sanitarios ni servicio suficiente de recolección de basura. Respecto de las columnas de concreto, se nota que jamás has estado en un centro tan impresionante y ceremonial como lo son las cuevas y cenotes, es una lástima que te parezcan "abstract art", shame on you!.
