Cavite Travel Tips

Cavite is a convenient destination for tourists visiting Manila. It’s just an hour away from the national capital and a common choice as a quick weekend getaway with its fair share of historical sites and modern luxuries, most of which are set against the picturesque background of Taal Volcano.

Although Cavite’s tourism gets a significant boost from Taal Volcano and its lake, making Tagaytay a crowd favorite, they are not the only sites worth visiting in the province. There’s the historic Aguinaldo Shrine and Museum in Kawit, a 19th Century building and the proclamation site of Philippine Independence against Spanish rule. Corregidor Island is another historical attraction, but it’s of World War II significance. Since it’s off the coast, the trip getting there is an adventure in itself. Cavite also has its own Boracay, aptly called Boracay de Cavite, a beach cove in Ternate with fine off-white sand flocked by large crowds, especially during the weekend.

Cavite is a convenient destination for tourists from Manila and the nearby provinces of Batangas and Laguna. If you are after maximizing the value of your travel, an itinerary that will incorporate the neighboring destinations is a smart move.
