Corregidor Island
Pretty sure almost all Pinoys have heard of Corregidor Island. It’s an island fortress where the most historic battles are fought against the Japanese Imperial Army during World War II. Although the island is located near the south of Bataan, the island is in the jurisdiction of Cavite.

Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine and Museum

- Visit Emilio Aguinaldo’s resting place right in the garden
- Tour around House of History to see secret passages and shelters
Mt. Pico de Loro
The best destination to wonder at the beauty of Cavite is Mt. Pico de Loro. It’s actually a dormant volcano, standing 664 meters above sea level. It got its name as the summit looks like a parrot’s beak or simply “Pico de Loro.”
Fun things to do:
