Life has a lot of surprises as well as Mother Earth. One just has to be ready
to embrace changes and challenges and of course, to appreciate beauty that
money can’t buy but man has a great participation on preserving those free
resources that God bestowed upon us, nature! I was in full gratitude when Herald Bebis organized
a blogger tour to help local government unit and to help to boost the tourism
of Cavinti, Laguna. It was an awesome act of kindness to make Cavinti to
be known nationwide and even worldwide. With that said, I was such a lucky gal
to get invited on that beautiful province and explore it for 2 days. And upon writing this blog post, I am already
hoping and wishing to get back to that paradise!

Meanwhile,
as I wanted to share with you all the details we’ve done during our 2 days getaway. Let me share the top 10 reasons WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT CAVINTI, LAGUNA the soonest possible. And I
know each reason that I will be posted here deserves a single entry which I
will be posted on the coming days, so stay tuned as I will flood you with
something colorful and impressively awesome.

It
was our first stop where we had our sumptuous breakfast. And when I said
sumptuous, I am picky when it comes to dinuguan but the one we had was flavorful
and paired with puto, well
it was way better than Goldilocks’s dinuguan.
Well, I guess, you have to order this prior on your booking so you can indulge
with this while in this place. Meanwhile, Bumbungan Eco-Park is located in Brgy Tibatib,
Cavinti, Laguna. It was dammed at the section where the top of the spillway
also served as a wet bridge on the Lumban-Caliraya-Cavinti road. After the
bridge was constructed, the dam and adjacent land became the Eco-Park with huts
and bathroom facilities for the tourist.

Want
to score high-quality and high-quality pandan
bags and hats? Then it is a must for you to visit the Pandan Weaving Center.
This is the place where sambalilo (straw hat) and other handicraft
made-out-of-pandan leaves made that came from the rain forest of Mount Banahaw
and nearby mountains and forests. It is located in the covered basketball court
of Cavinti. These colorful big and small handicrafts are sold in a very
affordable price. By having this, it helps more families to have a better
living.

Going
to Cavinti Falls also known as Pagsanjan Falls during our school days is a bit
challenging because you’re going there via trekking for almost an hour. But
don’t fret, as there are resting areas where you can take a rest and regain
your energy for another set of walking, hiking, trekking and rappelling. While
having a challenging “going down” trekking you can enjoy an overlooking greens
and waters or even hug a tree in Pueblo El Salvador Nature Park. This is the route that
one must take if you’re coming from Cavinti going to Cavinti Falls.

Finally,
this was my first time to see Pagsanjan Falls which is in the perimeter of
Caviniti Laguna. Thus, naming it with Cavinti Falls today as it is should be
Cavinit’s pride. Anyhow, the over thousand steps going down and rappelling
twice was all worth it. Though, you should be cautious as there were steps that
were too narrow. Once you get to the magical Cavinti Falls, you’ll be amazed on
how beautiful our world is. And there’s also a water rapid adventure where
tourist can experience to ride on a balsa and go under the waterfalls wherein a
Devil’s Cave hide beyond it and enjoy a cold swim.
Cavinti Church

…
Churches! We have plenty of them here in our country. And one of the oldest
God’s home is the Cavinti Church which was built on 1621. It was built at an
unusual location way back in 1600s that had been revealed to two men known as
the Puhawan brothers. This legend says that these two brothers were searching
for something to eat when they discovered an image of El Salvador at this spot.
When they took the picture to their home in Lumban, then they found out that
the image is lost. They look for it and were amazed to find the image in
exactly the same place where they first found it. The Cavinti Church now stands
on the holy ground where the image was discovered.

for a good venue for your once-in-a-lifetime precious moments? Well, I assure
that Camarin Resort has it all. It has a good spot for sunset, cozy and huge
function halls and recreation areas where you can unwind and relax and savor
life’s best moments as you are very close to nature.

Hey
friends! Ha-ha. Yeah, there’s also a golf course! So, who says that Cavinti,
Laguna is only for those yuppies and kids-at-heart that are looking for an
adventure? You can bring your Family and loved ones and enjoy the scenery while
playing – fresh air, delicious foods, refreshing drinks and more.
Caliraya Lake Mountain Resort

Caliraya
Lake Mountain Resort is perfect for team building and physical activities.
But if you want have some “me-time” or wanted to emote for a while and reflect
on God’s blessing or to know yourself more, a boat ride in the lake is suited
for you where you go around and will across the open sea while looking on those
elegant private resorts nearby and places that you once seen in the movie (hint:
pantayin sa sindak si Barbara).
LAGO Fishing Village

To
be honest, I found fishing a bit of an “oldie” thing as it needs a lot of
patience as you wait for the fish to be caught. Well, Lago Fishing Village made
me to think beyond of it. It has lots of coconut trees which I am fond of, lots
of green grasses, and a corner perfect for an OOTD. Oh wait; there are also
amazing room interiors wherein each room is decorated differently. Well,
waking up on something like this every day is truly bliss. Hmmm… can I score a
night or 2 night stay on this place, please?

It
seems like Cavinti, Laguna connotes with something that has to do with family.
Japanese Garden is a place where you can transport to a country without getting
a visa, passport and expensive tickets. Yeah right, you, together with your
families and friends can go to a Japanese world without spending, all you need
is blanket, basket full of foods and drinks and more stories to be shared to
your loved ones at Japanese Garden. Now, you have other options on where to
treat your families and friends.
….
And here’s another reason – seeing Rence Rapanot in person.

He
is one of the talented contestants of The Voice Philippines Season 2, the pride
of Cavinti, Laguna. He is one of the semi-finalists and I bet he has the talent
that we are looking forward. I can’t wait to hear him sing live. Hmmm...
