• The magnificent annual parade filled with traditional costumes, music, dance, and regional pride
• Daily visits to artisan exhibitions featuring the finest handcrafted works in Michoacán
• Time to meet artisans, learn about their traditions, and purchase directly from them
• The vibrant atmosphere of food, culture, flowers, and celebration throughout the city

Our home away from home in Uruapan is a colonial-style property located at the northern entrance of the spectacular, and tranquil, Barranca del Cupatitzio National Park. The land was originally a private estate called Quinta Hurtado, owned by the wealthy Hurtado family. It was a classic quinta campestre (country estate) featuring sprawling green gardens until 1938 when it was bought by the Mexican government to conserve its lush vegetation and unique water features. The mansion was carefully preserved and transformed into the comfortable, and beautiful hotel. There is a swimming pool, restaurant, and bar.
The huge park next to the hotel has meandering trails, waterfalls, small restaurants with great views, and an overlook of the headwaters of the Cupatitzio River. It, and the hotel, are the perfect places to relax after our full days of events in the nearby town.
