The Municipality of Teabo shares a boundary on the north with Mayapán-humayel, on the south with Tekax, on the east with Cantamayec-Tixméhuac and the west with Maní-Akil. It is home to indigenous Mayan people who continue to follow cultural traditions kept for hundreds of years.
Vestiges of an important Mayan cemetery can be found in Teabo. Also, Teabo had two sacred buildings: the parish and ex-convent of San Pedro y San Pablo built in the 17th century and the Indian's Chapel that shows the date of 1617.
