| Cambinliw is a home to the vast rice fields, farms and a big river.
This river plays a vital role to the livelihood of the residents of Loreto. Mainly, it supports irrigation of the rice fields and the farms. This is also a popular site for fishing and crabbing. The river banks are densely populated with Mangrove trees, which have been very much a part of the locals' lives. These offer various usages to the people. But the most popular is, for so many years during Christmas season the Mangrove trees stand in most of the households, decorated as Christmas trees. The leaves will be taken-out and the twigs/branches will be wrapped with glittery and colorful materials. Sight-seeing along the river is possible through the foot bridges criss-crossing some parts of the river or by boat. Where the river meets the sea lies a small community. There are kiosks around where people can get daily necessities. To reach this place requires approximately 10 minutes drive from the town proper.
