Nestled in the very bottom of the Urique Canyon, the pueblo of Urique is the county seat (cabicera municipio) of the county that carries the same name. The word “Urique” comes from the Tarahumara word "Uli" meaning land below which to them is synonymous with hot land. The "Uli" was followed by "-qui", a meaningless ending added to words so they sound better, thus “Uliqui” which the Spanish changed to “Urique”.
With an elevation of 549 meters (1757 ft.) Urique is characterized by a tropical climate ideal during winter months but almost unbearable during May and June when temperatures can reach 120˚F. Cooling summer rains bring a respite during the summer months. Edible products of this tropical town include peanut, grapefruit, mango, orange, papaya, lime, avocado, guaba, and plums. Seeds of the wild guamuchil tree and pitaya cactus fruit are special treats during May and June
