It is located in the heart of the Puuc region, about from the archaeological site of Labná and a similar distance from Sayil, lying directly between the two sites. It consists of three main groups in a valley of the Puuc Hills in Yucatán State, a region of karst limestone forming the only major topographical feature of the peninsula. The closest town is Oxkutzcab, about to the northeast.
The site dates from the Late to Terminal Classic periods and was sited in an area suitable for agriculture.
