Baluarte Zoo, Wildlife sanctuary in Vigan, Philippines
The 120-hectare zoological park houses Bengal tigers, white lions, leopards, ostriches, zebras, camels, and numerous native Philippine species within natural enclosures.
The land started as a private rest house before its owner, businessman Luis Chavit Singson, transformed it into a zoological park in response to his expanding hunting collection.
The Safari Gallery presents preserved animals and hunting artifacts, offering local residents direct access to international wildlife education without traveling abroad.
The zoo operates daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with free admission and electronic guided tours available for 50 Philippine pesos per person.
White lions and Bengal tigers participate in four scheduled educational presentations each day, demonstrating natural behaviors under professional supervision.
