Cupatitzio River

Cupatitzio River
Basin countries	Mexico

The Cupatitzio River is a river of Mexico. It has its main source in an outstandingly beautiful National Park, in Uruapan, Michoacan. Close to its source are two water falls: the larger Tzararacua and the Tzararacuita or little Tzararacua. After flowing some distance in the highland ("Altiplano") of western-central Michoacan State, the River takes a course mainly towards the south, and finally drains into the Balsas River which, in turn, empties into the Pacific Ocean.
