Baluarte also known as Baluarte Zoo or Baluarte Ni Singson is one of the tourist spots in Ilocos Sur. It is a zoological park situated in Vigan, Ilocos Sur. It is home to 8 Bengal tigers, 6 white lions and 2 leopards. The best way to enjoy this huge park is to book a ticket immediately. Haha

Hidden Garden features a restaurant and a cafe in a relaxing setting filled with tropical plants and flowers, carved wooden sculptures, and lots of clay pots. Taste some local delicacies at the restaurant or just walk around the garden past a bonsai corner, an artificial grotto, and a large birdcage housing white cockatoos.

Baluarte Resort and Mini Zoo

It was a short stop on our way to Ilocos Norte. Not a lot of activities, however it can be an enjoyable experience if you love animals.

Plaza Burgos is at the heart of Vigan. Located right by the center, it has a paved open spaces and trees. It is also surrounded by beautiful Church, the Capitol, and its where the tour to the Heritage Village along Calle Crisologo starts. It is booming with life specially come night time.
Bantay Bell Tower

2017 when I last visited. Fast forward more than 5 years to 2023, a lot changed. The Bantay Bell tower is (temporarily) not allowing visitors to climb up the Bell Tower after it sustained serious damage from the last earthquake. Nonetheless, it is good that they still allow us and other visitors to take pictures of the towers across the fence.

There is nothing special about boiled duck eggs, but I think no one has ever eaten boiled duck eggs with balut. If you have a chance, you can try it here.
Crisologo Museum

A museum worth seeing, this was originally a private residence, the owner of this house was assassinated and died, but the memorial to him is because of his very large contribution to the local area, go up to the second floor to see a lot of preserved homes and furniture, exhibits are really quite rich.
Syquia Mansion Museum

It shows the old buildings and you can see the life of the old Filipino upper class. It belongs to the Elpidio family of Quirino. There are antiques, furniture, decorations, handicrafts, churches and family photos.
