Municipality of Uruapan, Administrative division in Michoacán, Mexico
The municipality of Uruapan extends across a fertile region at the western edge of the Purépecha highlands, east of the Tierra Caliente region.
Spanish missionaries established the municipal territory in 1533, creating six distinct neighborhoods that formed the foundation of modern administrative boundaries.
Each of the six traditional neighborhoods within the municipality maintains its own calendar of religious festivals and cultural celebrations throughout the year.
The municipality operates regular public transportation services connecting residential areas to the central district, markets, and neighboring communities.
The territory contains the National Park Barranca del Cupatitzio, which receives the second-highest number of visitors among Mexican national parks.
