Uruapan was founded in 1553 by Fray Juan de San Miguel. It is located just over 100 kilometers from Morelia and has about 250,000 inhabitants

The main things to do and see in town are a visit to Eduardo Ruiz National Park for the nature and the waterfals, La Huatapera for its colonial architecture, the Chapel of the Magdalene, which dates back to the 16-th century.

Daytrips can be made to La Tzararacua: 10 kilometers to the south of town on the road to Apatzingan is La Tzararacua waterfall. Surrounded by lush vegetation, this refreshing site is accessible by horseback or walking path.

Paracho, zome 40 km away, is famous for the guitars that are made here. Nice daytrip
