Click here, click there, selfie (self portrait) everywhere. People all over the world are non stop in sharing picture-perfect moments of the things they love to do, may it be their latest travels, food, people, gadgets, pets, outfit, accessories, name it. I myself am guilty of that, and one thing I cannot miss not to share is the experience I recently had in Cavinti.
Cavinti is a third class municipality in the province of Laguna. Approximately a hundred kilometers away from Manila, this soon to be one of the hottest tourist destinations in the country boast not only its famous Underground River and Caves but you’ll be surprise of the many exciting activities and breath taking views any this humble province offers. And lucky me, I was able to try some of these during the 2-Day #CavEAT: Cavinti Eco Adventure Tour for bloggers/social influencer, initiated by Herald Bebis for the Municipality of Cavinti headed by Hon. Mayor Milbert Oliveros.
Now let me share you few picture-perfect things we experienced during the tour which you might also want to try when in Cavinti.
This was our first stop during the tour. Here, we had a simple breakfast (puto dinuguan for the win) under picnic huts and took pictures of the place. The vicinity is made interesting by the overflowing water that look more like a dam or a mini waterfalls to any one who visits.

When in Cavinti, never miss to explore the exciting Cavinti falls formerly known as the Pagsanjan Falls/ Magdapio Falls. To reach the falls, you can either trek and rappel or go for boating. If you want adventure or just to test your strength and perseverance, I suggest you go for the trekking and rappel. It took us more than an hour trek and numerous selfies along the way.

After we conquered the challenging falls, we then climbed up back to Pueblo El Salvador Nature’s Park and Picnic grove where delicious meals were served. And finally, headed to our next stop, Camarin Resort.
This is one of my favorite spots because of the calming feel the place offers. I just wish it wasn’t raining during the tour so I got more time to see the place.
5. Emote at Lumot Lake.
If you want to mend a broken heart, boy this place is oh-so-perfect! You can just look at the lake that mirrors the sky, surrounded by trees, lushes and shrubs. And go home with a clear and renewed mind. Aside from this, fishing is also another activity that can be done at the lake.

If you go inside you will observe that the old architecture of the church has been well preserved and maintained up to now, which make the entire structure picture perfect.
