The creation of the Barranca del Cupatitzio National Park was driven by the desire to preserve the natural beauty of the region, protect the water sources that supply Uruapan, and offer a recreational space for its inhabitants, in addition to promoting tourism in the area.
This park is home to a rich biodiversity, with more than 495 species of native plants and 213 species of terrestrial vertebrates.
These natural resources not only beautify the environment, but also fulfill essential functions, such as the conservation of biological diversity and climate regulation, making the park a true green lung.
The Source of the Cupatitzio River
The Cupatitzio River originates in the park at the famous spring known as “La Rodilla del Diablo” (The Devil’s Knee). Throughout its 19 hectares, the river meanders through lush vegetation, creating an ideal habitat for many species and offering visitors a serene and captivating landscape.
Along its course, the river is fed by other streams and springs, such as El Gólgota, La Yerbabuena and Gandarillas.
These waters, joining the main flow, enhance the freshness and vitality of the ravine, making the park a green oasis in the middle of the city.
Recreational Areas and Trails
The park has cobblestone trails that extend for more than 3 kilometers, ideal for quiet walks surrounded by nature.
Along these paths, various fountains adorned with the waters of the river add a touch of charm to the landscape, creating a perfect setting for relaxation and enjoyment.
