It was the capital of an extensive territory that dominated the northeastern part of Petén, although it had very strong ties with the city of Tikal, Caracol, in Belize, and Calakmul in Mexico. It has monumental complexes with pyramidal temples, Acropolis, twin pyramid complexes, commemorative complexes, Ball Games, palaces and domestic residential complexes.

The Park has an extension of 37,760 ha. In the park there are numerous cities, being the main ones besides Yaxha, Topoxte, Nakum and Naranjo; which played a very important role in the social and political organization of the central lowlands for more than 1,500 years.

The park is a refuge that allows you to appreciate a balanced combination of biodiversity and pre-Hispanic cultural heritage. Due to the presence of impressive lagoons and wetlands that are part of the main migratory bird routes, the park has been recognized as a wetland of world importance (RAMSAR). The Yaxhá and Sacnab lagoons can be seen from the top of several archaeological monuments, giving the area a unique scenic beauty.
