Baluarte of Chavit

Animal Encounter @ Baluarte Zoo: A zoo located at Salindeg were you can see varieties of animals like tigers, elks, deer, ostriches, camels, and many more. The owner of this zoo is the former Ilocos Sur Governor Chavit Singson.

Clean, Friendly and Free

I must say, I think this is a very big opportunity for us to visit one of the fortress of Vigan City. Upon our arrival in Santa, Ilocos Sur, we went straight ahead in Baluarte. There were actually hundreds of animals in this zoo. At first I thought there were just few.

Be amazed with the spectacular display of the great wealth of this nostalgic city bursting with kalesa and ancestral houses inspired by Spanish Architect.

Calle Crisologo

We had a quick tour in Vigan and these are some marvelous sites we've taken.

My sister was really amazed by this luxurious city.

even my boyfriend couldn't help to take a selfie

Have to go down because I was a bit nervous to ride a kalesa.

So many pictures to share:

Walking along Calle Crisologo is a must for every tourist for them to fully understand our heritage.

Calle Crisologo is photogenic in any angle

 It's Beautiful. No doubt... But it's small

Calle Crisologo is also home of souvenir shops and very beautiful hand crafted products like wooden carvings and knitted bags.
