The town's Roman Catholic church, it was rebuilt in its original Spanish colonial-style minus its dome after sustaining heavy damage from World War II-bombardment. It houses a venerated image of Our Lady of Guadalupe that was donated by Mexico. A side chapel contains funeral plaques of residents from the colonial era. A side room to the left of the entrance leads to a parish store selling themed memorabilia.

Arco Real
One of the few-surviving town gates in the Philippines from the Spanish era, the three-portal structure is a designated National Cultural Treasure that sits directly on the highway from Santa Cruz.
Cavinti Falls
It is a moderate-sized waterfall (perhaps 15-20 meters) upstream from the town, but very pretty. The trip there is mostly through wild jungle in a deep canyon. Very scenic. If you are fortunate you may even see monkeys in the jungle along the canyon walls. The falls are also claimed by the municipality of Cavinti, hence its alternate name.
