Through the leadership of the current administration in boosting the tourism potential of the municipality, the LGU tapped its water based resource and has successfully launched the 1st Cavinti Water Sports Olympics last year to develop the water based adventure and festivity within the vast Lumot Lake. Last year’s event featured water based competitions like Bass Fishing Competition, Dragon Boat Racing, Canoe Racing, Open Water Swimming Competition, Kite Boarding Competition, Carabao Swim Racing, Underwater Fish Hunting.

Cavinti Eco-Adventure Tour 2015

Welcome to Cavinti, Laguna not Cavite its Cavinti, a 3rd class municipality. The Eventful, Adventure, Falls, Caves and Eco-Tourism Capital of Laguna. The next big thing for eco-adventure tourism just three hours away from the Metro Manila. 

"Para sa patuloy na pag-asenso, Cavinti ay mahalin at ipagmalaki natin! " - Cavinti . For continued progress , Cavinti we cherish and be proud of !!! with this motto Cavinti would be truly became a 1st class city in the near future. A 3rd class municipality waiting to be discover and explore from adventure and relaxation. 

What are the things Cavinti can offer, first the Bumbugan Eco Park. Our first stop during our Cavinti Eco Adventure Tour. Best place for picnic and relaxation Bumbungan Eco Park also served us our breakfast and orientation venue. 

After the breakfast and orientation we learned that Pagsanjan Falls was located in the vicinity of Cavinti in which locals calls it Cavinti Falls or Magdapio Falls. Shocking to learn the truth that Pagsanjan aka Cavinti falls is truly located in Cavinti because as we been taught in school that Pagsanjan fall is in Pagsanjan History 101. 

 

Then our adventure continue, second stop the Sambalilo Cooperative of Cavinti where world class Sambalilo was made. Cavinti also have the Sambalilo Festival every August 3-6 where they showcase different and colorful sambalilo made in Pandan. This pandan are not the pandan leaves we all know it's a different kind but also a family of Pandan leaves. 

Next stop Pueblo El Salvador, established 2006 Pueblo El Salvador was the cheapest way going to Cavinti Falls aka Pagsanjan Falls aka Magdapio Falls but not the easy as like with shooting rapids from Pagsanjan. 

About 30 to 60 minutes walk or trekking from the registration area you can reach this great Statue of El Salvador Del Mundo. In this place only the brave and determined can passed and go ahead with the adventure. 

Just not your normal walk the trail is a bit challenging and exciting. A great way to feel  and appreciate the beauty of Cavinti. 

The trail is composed of metal and steel railing from ease access.

First 90 degree drop, Pueblo El Salvador staff would help and secure you during the decent with a rope. Just don't be afraid enjoy the view. Its about a 10 to 15 seconds drop.

Chill along the trail and share the moments with friends.

Keep walking and stay safe 

Keep walking and we reach the end of the trail , where Cavinti Falls awaits you in the end.

Not only in Textbook and Postcard Cavinti Falls Aka Pagsanjan Falls

Everyone can experience the falls up close and personal via a balsa or bamboo raft. Be ready to get wet and enjoy the ride. 

Inside Cavinti Falls

You can stay inside the falls where you can hear the roaring sounds of the falls but be reminded that it's very cold inside. Cavinti falls is open to the public but it's not open for overnight stay. Cavinti Falls closed at 5 pm where everyone can only visit the falls up to 5 pm. While tourist that came from Pueblo El Salvador way are advice to return after 3 pm. 

Alternative way going in and going out Cavinti falls via Shooting Rapids. 

After 30 to 40 minutes walk , climb and rappel we are all back at Pueblo El Salvador Starting point.

Last stop for the day Camarin Guesthouse Resort & Eco Park, The NPC CAMARIN Resort & Eco Park is located along the shore of Caliraya Lake, Seven (7) kilometers from the town of Lumban, Laguna. A land mass intrusion to the lake in octopus shape with gradual slope. The total land area is about seven (7) hectares, it nestled the Pavilion, Executive Cottage, Twin-Cabanas, Conference & Seminars Halls and various indoor and outdoor recreational facilities.
