Baluarte: Chavit’s Animalandia
Posted by on August 26, 2006

One of the newer tourist spots in the city of Vigan is the Baluarte. Baluarte is actually the house of Ilocos Sur Governor Luis “Chavit” Singson. Right inside the compound are several ostriches running wild and free, ponies, birds, monkeys, and tigers. There is also a butterfly garden that houses hundred of butterflies fluttering on the flowers.

When I went there, I chanced upod several kids having fun time playing with the urangutan. The primate is well-behaved. And she enjoys playing too.
