 The Kantetul River is a seasonal watercourse with its origin to the northeast of the site and flowing westwards into the Akte River, passing from the site core.The Akte River in turn flows west into the San Pedro River, which flows northwest into Mexico where it joins the Usumacinta River and ultimately empties into the Gulf of Mexico.A mixture of ancient and modern agricultural terraces line the riverbank, north of the site core.
