Abstract: En México han existido, existen y seguramente seguirán existiendo algunas obras civiles que, una vez iniciadas, nunca se terminan, tal es el caso de Puerto Madero en el estado soberano de Chiapas, el que pese al gran valor estratégico aparente que representa para la sociedad, permanece inconcluso, obsoleto y abandonado. Las iniciativas para la construcción del puerto datan de los siglos xix y xx, naciendo erráticamente con serias atrofias y limitaciones como un puerto exportador agrícola, dedicado a la transportación y la comercialización de productos llamados “exóticos”, de gran valor en el mercado internacional, y los que gracias a la apertura comercial que experimentó México durante aquel periodo, propició un auge en la producción y el consumo de los diferentes bienes agrícolas tropicales producidos en la región. En este artículo se consignan paso a paso las iniciativas que condujeron a lo que ahora constituye la infraestructura portuaria de Puerto Madero, misma que visualmente aparece materialmente abandonada./ In Mexico there have existed, there exist and there will surely continue existing some civil works that once begun they never end, such it is the case of Puerto Madero in the sovereign state of Chiapas, the one that remains in spite of the great apparent strategic value that represents for the society, unconcluded, obsolete and abandoned. The initiatives for the construction of the port date of the xix and xx centuries, being born erratically with serious atrophies and limitations like a port agricultural exporter, dedicated to the transportation and the commercialization of called “exotic” products of great value in the international market and those that thanks to the commercial opening that Mexico experienced during that period, it propitiated a peak to the production and the consumption of the different tropical agricultural goods, taken place in the region. In this article there are consigned step to step the initiatives that led to that that now constitutes the same port infrastructure of Puerto Madero that visually appears materially abandoned.
