Baluarte is a park Vigan located in Philippines.
2700 Vigan Ilocos Sur Philippines
Take a ride on the miniature horse-drawn carriage to see the camel. The ride is "free" but you have to give a tip to your kutsero. P20 will do.
A humid park to be at. Must bring any coolers and shades! You must see their Richard Parkers inside and have a photo with them.
Bring umbrella if you will visit Baluarte early int he morning. It's so hot. But if you have time, visit it late in the afternoon like 4:00 PM. Entrance is free.
The safari gallery houses hunted animals by Chavit Singson . This is the first time I saw something like this and it made me very sad.
the animal show is a must must must watch.???? the host is funny and if he asked for a volunteer go raise your hand. hahaa ????????????????????????????????????????
Operating hours is 6am-6pm daily. Admission is free. 15mins by tricycle from Calle Crisologo.
Just okay. Has rare animals, lacks info signages, some animals doesn't have handlers nearby. Its also weird that while the owner loves animals he also loves hunting. See the museum
It is better to have the shuffle vehicle going up, then just work your way down by foot.
Make sure to have umbrella or hat with water. It gets too hot in the summer.
Comfort rooms @ 2nd floor of building entrance. Animals show is great, medyo bitin.
close encounter with animals. nice butterfly farm . good for field biology. :)
All attractions are free of charge courtesy of Gov. Luis Chavit Singson ..c:
Dont leave the place without having the animal encounter . :]
A nice place to see animals roaming around freely.
You can see, many kinds of animals.
Wear a hat or bring an umbrella :D humid but fun esp the animal encounter ! Hehe
Tourist should visit the butterfly farm inside. Romantic and relaxing.
Try to see the pot belly pig paint, or have a photo taken with their tiger.
The new museum inside Baluarte
Animal lovers here. ????
bring a hat, shades or an umbrella ....
You might want to skip this place if you’re a wildlife advocate. Unimpressive display of hunted down and preserved (taxidermy ) animals.
The animal show is amazing!

MISS. Basically just a very large (and smelly) petting zoo . Nothing spectacular about it except maybe the amount of money Chavit Singson is spending for this. On the upside, no entrance fee .
Don't miss the mini calesa ride.
Free entrance.
No entrance fee -- but there are donation boxes inside the zoo .
Don't forget to ride a pony! Tip lang after ;)
free entrance & show...
If it were not free I would ask for my money back.
Great souvenir shop!
It's so hot! but enjoy :P
The place needs some maintenance.
Cheaper pasalubong items.
Free horse ride . ????????
No entrance fee !
Animal encounter starts at 10am!
