Last weekend I left Morelia to go to Uruapan National Park. The park is supplied by a natural spring near the entrance. As we travelled through the park there were another beautiful waterfalls draped by beautiful tropical foilage. While we did not see much wildlife, there were these gorgeous white butterflies. Near the end, there was a clavadista diving from a tree. It was very Mexican. All in all, the walk took about an hour.
Despite enjoying the park, I left the park a little unimpressed. I think we are spoiled by beautiful scenery in the Northwest and the park here seemed almost like an imitation of what we have in the Northwest. I´m so used to our parks, being largely untouched by man and left in it´s completely natural state. However, the National Park at Uruapan had man-made waterfalls beside the scenery. It felt like they were trying to compensate for the nature. It was still beautiful, and I enjoyed the time there, it just made me appreciate more the beauty of the Northwest.
Check out two videos of the Park. The first is at the base of a waterfall. The other is of a clavadista diving from a tree. Enjoy!
