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.
Cavinti Falls, colloquially known by its old name Pagsanjan Falls, is one of the most famous waterfalls in the Philippines. Located in the province of Laguna, the falls is one of the major tourist attractions of the region. The three-drop waterfall is reached by a river trip on dugout canoe, known locally as "Shooting the Rapids", originating from the municipality of Pagsanjan. The falls can also be reached from the top by a short hike from Cavinti.

Pagsanjan Church
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.
