Just after having breakfast at our hotel,
we immediately went out to meet Kuya Lenzer, our super nice tour guide, for the
official start of our City Tour. Our first stop was the famous Baluarte – a park
/ zoo owned by Mr. Chavit Singson. There is no entrance fee here but donations are
very much appreciated. Guests also need to register before entering the
premises. The first animal that welcomed us were cute and lovely birds and one of them is this. (yung iba kasi nakapatong sa balikat ng mga guest para sa picture taking.)
Photo op is allowed and free. Again, donations / tips are very much welcome.
We all had our pictures taken with the birds before proceeding to the next
attraction. Just in front of the birds were the Ostriches.
Actually for me,
Baluarte looks like a super huge ranch. Haha. There were lots of greens because of
the grasses and trees and animals like goats were free to walk around.
Hihi.
Anyways, next to the ostrich, we had a stop-over at the gigantic dinosaur
figure for some picture taking.
Next was the loner deer. We also passed by the reptile section but I didn’t bother entering because I don’t like seeing
snakes. Arte lang. :p And of course, the animal that I wanted to see the most – Tigers! Cute and Fierce (tapang ko mag picture kasi tulog siya bwaha :p)
I really want to have a tiger cub pet pero baka pag lumaki na siya, di ko na kayanin. :p
Geese!
Anyways, it was such a short walk but we got tired
immediately because of too much heat. The weather was so cooperative during our
tour.
If I’m not mistaken, there were some cute Calesas available (for rent or
free?) that will roam you around the place but we preferred to walk so malamang may
bayad yun. :p

After Baluarte, our next stop was the Hidden Garden.
There’s also an altar,
and Lover's corner.
Souvenir items, pots, plants and flowers on display are for sale too.
There’s nothing much to see in this place but if you’re a plant lover, then go visit the place. J
