Barranca del Cupatitzio National Park (Spanish: Parque Nacional Barranca del Cupatitzio) is a national park in the Mexican state of Michoacán, centered around the headwaters of the Cupatitzio River. The river emerges from an underground spring, carving a small ravine as the water begins to flow.
The park is known for its abundant streams and springs, many of which cascade down the sides of the ravine to form small waterfalls. Barranca del Cupatitzio was declared a federally protected area in 1938, after the land was bought by the Mexican government to create a recreation area.
