  • The city of URUAPAN in MICHOACÁN, Mexico features a lush national park, practically downtown! The stunning Parque Nacional Barranca del Cupatitzio feels like it's worlds away from the streets of Uruapan, Michoacán.
    We've visited here a few times and this is one of our favourite things to do in Uruapan, Michoacán, Mexico! You won't believe that an area quite like this lies in the middle of a city - an urban oasis in Uruapan, Mexico!

      Hi Cindy,
      This park is one of the most beautiful spots we've been to in Mexico. The countryside around Uruapan is simply stunning and Michoacan is one of our favorite states in Mexico. Do you make it back to Uruapan often?

    Those torta's were huge and what a bargain price I must say. Two people enjoying a nice meal for only 2 US dollars. You surely can't beat that. Also, the park with all the waterfalls was absolutely stunning. What a sight to behold.

      Hi William! Those tortas were amazing and the place is owned by a very kind family - it's lovely seeing a little restaurant like that doing such good business. The national park is a spot we could easily visit again and again - such a lush, peaceful place to be!

      Thanks so much Catherine. We're still working our way through the tonne of footage that we took between last November and April! We have many more special places to share in both Mexico and Guatemala. We're also dying to return to Mexico later this year. We really do appreciate you enjoying our videos and we're glad to be able to share these places with you 🤗🤗.

    I went on a trip to Uruapan 8 years ago cuz my anxiety was through the roof. My brother in law suggested we go to this park and watch my anxiety melt away. True to this day, just watching your video now gave me such a sense of tranquility. Can't wait to go back someday! 😌😌

      Hi MAGZ-77. Please accept our apologies for not getting back to you sooner - we were in a very remote region of the US for six weeks and our internet coverage was very unreliable. This meant we fell behind on a lot of things so we thank you for your patience - and your lovely comment!
      It's absolutely wonderful hearing that our video brought you back to that relaxing visit eight years ago. Indeed, Uruapan is such a lovely city and this park is a place we could spend hours in each day. It is an incredibly tranquil spot and it's so good knowing our video has managed to capture a bit of that - thank you again for such a beautiful comment!

      Hi Ricky and Raquel. The park is a beautiful spot to spend a few hours in Uruapan. There are loads of vendors in the park and there's also a restaurant on site. As for the tortas, they are amazing and the family who run "Loncheria El Tio Quito's" are absolutely lovely. Uruapan is yet another city we're dying to get back to. Thanks for enjoying the video 🥰🥰.

      Hi D and Susie. The park is fantastic and we have to say it s also surprisingly mosquito/buggy free! It's such a beautiful, peaceful oasis in Michoacán's second largest city! It was a mighty sandwich, but those bloody pigeons... We'll be back though, for another sandwich. Fi and Jerry (Your Drifters) xx ❤️❤️

    Hi guys, I am very grateful for your kind words about Uruapan, you are welcome anytime you want, here you have a friend if you need anything in your stay. Another places you can enjoy near Uruapan are: Zirahuen (awesome lake), Santa Clara del Cobre (all you can imagine and more made of cupper). Another places near Morelia worth your visit are: Santuario de la Mariposa Monarca (from November to March), and Los Azufres (sulfur hot springs and beautiful Forest). And if you like, we have virgin beaches awesome for your relaxation like Maruata, highly recommended. Nice to meet you.

    • @ACoupleofDrifters
      @ACoupleofDrifters  Рік тому +1

      Hi Carlos! You've left us such lovely comment and have offered a very kind gesture - thank you!
      Playa Maruata is the most beautiful beach we've ever been to - such a dramatic coastline along that part of Michoacan. We also have very fond memories of getting a ride along the coast from Maruata to Caleta de Campos (also beautiful!) and we even remember many of the songs which were being played in the car - they still remind us of that gorgeous ride!
      Recently, we've seen Los Azufres on google maps and have seen loads of photos - this is someplace we will go to on our next visit because we love hot springs.
      We visited Zitacuaro in November, 2021 and tried to enter the butterfly reserve at Cerro Pelon (this reserve is actually in the state of Mexico) but it was closed due to the pandemic. We still had a lovely time in Zitacuaro and even hiked into the hills around the village of Macheros, located just outside the reserve.
      Thank you for your suggestions - we know for certain that we'll return to Michoacan again and again!

      Uruapan certainly is a beautiful city - it's been in our hearts since our first visit in 2013. Cupatitzio Park is such a gorgeous and peaceful spot - we could easily spend an entire day here. Indeed, the folks in Uruapan are very warm and welcoming.
