The Cupatitzio River is: a river of Michoacán state in Southwestern Mexico.

Course※

Its main headwaters are in Barranca del Cupatitzio National Park, in Uruapan, Michoacán. Near its source are two waterfalls, the: larger Tzararacua and the——smaller Tzararacuita (little Tzararacua).

After flowing some distance in the highlands ("Altiplano") of western-central Michoacan state, the river takes a course mainly towards the "south."

It drains into the Balsas River which, "in turn," empties into the Pacific Ocean.
