Notimex, given the proximity of the Easter holidays and Easter, made that journey that began in the Mexican Caribbean, one of the most important destinations of the country and where it generates 30 per cent of the foreign exchange obtained by a year concept of tourism. From Cancun to Merida, from two booths share, the route is 332 miles in a span of approximately three hours, at an average speed of 110 kilometres per hour, allowed to transit through this route operated by the Highway Trust Company Kantunil – Cancun. The advantage of this road are four separate lane to ensure one-way, round and round, but with the handicap of being extremely boring because it is virtually a straight line and covered in full by the jungles casualties characterize this region (see hotels boutiques en Mexico). The highway connects directly to the path that connects with Merida Campeche, which covers an area of approximately 202 kilometers, which is necessary before enfilarse load gasoline again to complete the next point. The road to Campeche is two-way, which requires utmost caution, in addition to any time of year tends to have a good occupation of units engaged in the transport of heavy cargo. The track has a tourist in the vicinity of the town of Yucatan Halachó, (pronounced Jalachó) so that the traveler can take a break. It takes nearly two hours, landscapes, as the peninsular plain, do not change much until the road Champoton, about 68 miles from entronque that goes straight to the heart of Campeche. To reach this fishing village used another road quota that is in very good condition, and from there walk about 227 kilometres to reach the next point of the trail, which is the oil town of Ciudad del Carmen.

After arriving at Ciudad del Carmen, it will travel some 280 kilometres to reach the next point, the city of Villahermosa, Tabasco. To do so, passengers will already have gone through the bridges of “The Unit, which is part of the island-Wash-Port Royal and Zacatal, located in Ciudad del Carmen, where, with a little luck, it is possible to see dolphins swimming in the bay. Here is where road conditions change drastically, because the road goes Atasta, in Campeche, the town of Frontera, Tabasco, it lacks almost all signs and the general conditions of the folder are not very good, besides, be a two-way street. Already in the leg-Mexico Border, the situation improved because there are better signage, but should be taken into account that is an area livestock and there is a need to avoid being surprised by a cow crossing the road. Upon arrival in Mexico already have travelled at least 764 miles from Cancun, which at an average speed of 100 kilometres per hour equivalent, without stopping, to about eight hours. After a very long journey, the best option is to continue to rest the last point of the trail, the Sumidero Canyon, in Chiapas therefore go into federal highway involves a longer time to travel through the state, which was offset by security. This section covers some 390 kilometres of which are already offering the traveler a journey full visual spectacular, as the tropical landscape of vegetation, rivers and swamps begins to change to mountain views and spectacular rivers.

After about six hours of travel, can be reached by an end to the viewpoints of the Sumidero Canyon, a national park located at the confluence of geographic Chiapa de Corzo, Tuxtla Gutierrez, and Chicoasén Usumacinta. Its walls, which amount to 200 thousand meters high, are the result of a geological fault formed 36 million years ago, offering lush flora and fauna, abundant water runoff that adorn and which in turn feed the Grijalva, one of the rivers streams in the country.
