Yaxha is a archaeological site in the northeast of the Petén Basin region, and a former ceremonial centre and city of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization.
Yaxha experienced its maximum power during the Early Classic period (c. AD 250–600) and was the third largest city in the region.
The city was located on a ridge overlooking Lake Yaxha. The name of the city derives from the Mayan for "blue-green water".
The Yaxha kingdom is estimated to have covered an area of 92 square miles (237 sq kilometers)
The city is believed to have had a peak population of 42,000
