Uruapan is the second-largest city in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, known for its rich cultural heritage and natural surroundings. Located in a region historically inhabited by the Purépecha people, the city's name comes from the Purépecha word "Uruapani," meaning "place where flowers bloom." The city is renowned for its production of avocados and is often called the "World Capital of Avocados."
Uruapan's cultural landscape is shaped by a blend of indigenous Purépecha traditions and colonial influences, visible in its architecture and local customs. The city is home to the Parque Nacional Barranca del Cupatitzio, a national park featuring natural springs and waterfalls, which serves as both a natural and cultural landmark. Traditional crafts, particularly lacquerware and textiles, remain an important part of the local cultural identity.
