VERY few people outside Laguna know about Cavinti and most of its attractions are unheard of outside the adventure circle. Often mistaken as Cavite, the province, instead of Cavinti, the town, it is located 100 kilometers outside Metro Manila. Its many natural and man-made attractions and proximity to Metro Manila make it an ideal eco-tourism get-away. Those who are patient enough to find out what they are will be rewarded with an action-packed and fun-filled weekend adventure.
But how did the town got its name? Legend has it that the original settlers of this place had a unique ritual where a groom must run after the prospective bride by catching her by holding on to her legs or kapit sa binti or “ka binti”. This eventually became the name of the place.
