The National Park Eduardo Ruiz
This park has to be one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. First of all, you need to know a bit about the geography of the area. The city of Uruapan is nestled in a valley created and surrounded by dormant volcanos, so the earth here is comprised mostly of volcanic rock.
In the center of the city is the National Park. Within this park is the source of the river Cupatitzio. The Cupatitzio River (dubbed "the river that sings"), because along its flow are tourist attractions. The National Park Eduardo Ruiz is home of "La Rodilla del Diablo", the source of the river which courses through the city and out toward "La Tzaráracua" and "La Tzararacuita", waterfalls on the southern outskirts of the city, and flows into the Presa Infernillo and eventually the Pacific Ocean.

The river begins from a small spring fed pond that splits into two streams. These streams run throughout the park and are joined by additional natural springs along their journey. These springs themselves are wonder of nature. They seemingly just spout from the rock without rhyme or reason.
Waterfalls abound in this park, yet they are not the only beauty. All parts of this park are heavily forested with many species of beautiful flora and fauna. Along with the flora and fauna are numerous species of birds. The sounds lend to the extreme tranquility and beauty of this park.
