Urique

The municipality of Urique extends across mountainous terrain at the bottom of a deep valley, with elevations around 550 meters above sea level.

The region gained importance during Mexico's colonial period when Spanish settlers established administrative centers to manage local communities and mineral resources.

The indigenous Tarahumara people maintain their traditional practices in Urique, including their distinctive running traditions and agricultural methods.

Summer temperatures in Urique reach 47 degrees Celsius, while annual rainfall concentrates in July and August, affecting travel conditions and outdoor activities.

The municipal seat sits at the base of the Barranca de Urique, where the temperature patterns create a near-tropical climate despite its location in northern Mexico.
