Este sitio está ubicado en el Municipio de Valladolid, Yucatán y se inscribió a la lista Ramsar el 2 de Febrero de 2008 con el número 1763, porque se considera como parte de un corredor de selvas medianas, bajas e inundables, ubicándose dentro de un complejo de lagunas, cenotes y amplias depresiones inundables, dispersos en una amplia superficie
que cuenta con vestigios arqueológicos de época prehispánica. Este sitio tiene un área de 5,367.4 ha, y cuenta con 222 especies de flora: 19 endémicas de esta Península. Diversas especies de flora tienen variados usos para las comunidades: medicinal, material para construcción, artesanías y usos ceremoniales.

Además es hábitat de especies en peligro de extinción como el jaguar, tigrillo y mono araña. En el Cenote "Las Calaveras" se encontraron restos óseos que pertenecieron a los antiguos
pobladores mayas, que datan del periodo Preclásico (2500 a.C. - 200 d.C.) al Postclásico (900-1521 d.C.). Por
su ubicación geográfica, se sitúa dentro de los límites del Estado de Quintana
Roo pero administrativamente pertenece a ejido de Valladolid, Yucatán por disputas territoriales.
