Cavinti, Municipality in Laguna, Philippines

The municipality of Cavinti stretches across the province of Laguna with Lake Lumot and Lake Caliraya forming water boundaries at coordinates 14.2454°N, 121.5070°E.

The area gained independence from Lumban in 1619 through a papal bull, later experiencing changes in status until its final establishment as a municipality in 1907.

The Sambalilo Festival celebrates local craftsmanship through exhibitions of handmade sombreros created from pandan leaves by skilled artisans of the municipality.

Visitors reach Cavinti by taking buses from Manila to Santa Cruz, followed by jeepney transportation through Pagsanjan to access the municipal center.

Two artificial lakes, Lake Lumot and Lake Caliraya, were constructed in 1943 by American engineers to power the Caliraya Hydroelectric Plant.
