Once you enter the national park, home of the Cupatitzio river, you find paths that are riddled with streams of water that exhale their sweet musty breath as they descend toward the river. The forest is wrapped in a powerful mist, emboldened by its fragility where the thunder of rushing water courses through the consciousness of an eternal dawn.
Also, near to Uruapan is the volcano:
El Paricutin. One of the most fascinating geological sites in this country. El Paricutin emerged in 1943 and its ashes and lava covered the whole town leaving one of the church towers intact, as the only architectural witness to this terrifying event ...definitely worth visiting!
