BALUARTE

    The Baluarte or fortress is a must-see attraction for first time visitors, and even for those who have visited Vigan before.
The reasons for its being on the list of places to visit are two. First is that it has a mini zoo with animals from other countries and others endemic to the Philippines. It is a private collection and is therefore continuously being improved. 
     The second reason is that it is owned by Mr. Chavit Singson, a well-loved son of Vigan and well-known to most Filipinos and foreigners who follow the Philippine political scene.
Also, the zoo has their Butterfly Sanctuary wherein you can see different kinds of butterflies and how they develop.

A meet and greet with the animals! :))
Visitors had the opportunity to mingle with some of the animals in the zoo.
This was during the animal show, which luckily, we were able to watch. :)
