Our Trip to Ilocos Sur

Last April, me and my friends headed to Ilocos Sur for a 3-day vacation. It was during the Holy Week when a lot of people are on vacation. It was a long, tiring, but a fun trip.

Paraiso ni Juan

We visited the beach after going to our accommodation for a swimming. The beach was called Paraiso ni Juan at the municipality of Narvacan. There are rock structures at the beach, and it is located near the mountains.

Photo was captured before going down the beach.

The vineyard

We accommodated at our friend's relatives, and this vineyard was owned by them. Unfortunately, we are unable to harvest because the grapes are still young.

Banaoang Bridge

On our second day, we decided to go to Vigan City. We stopped by Banaoang Bridge and the viewdeck. Banaoang Bridge is the iconic bridge when going to Vigan City. It is located at Bantay, Ilocos Sur.

There are actually two bridges. The old bridge and the new one. The new bridge is the one being used. The old bridge became a tourist spot.

The river heading to the sea.

Baluarte Zoo

As we reached Vigan, we then headed to Baluarte Zoo. Wait, don't mistake that dinosaur as real. 😂

The turtle hiding.

Some of the animals

At the Gallery

There is a gallery at Baluarte, and here are some of the photos of those preserved bodies of dead animals. The owner of Baluarte, Chavit Singson, was known not just as a politician, but also a hunter.

Dancing Fountains at Plaza Salcedo

After our trek from Baluarte Zoo, we went to Plaza Salcedo to watch the Dancing Fountains. We waited for hours until we got to watch the beauty of the majestic dancing fountains.

Took a rest during the third day

On the third day, we took a rest because we're already tired. We came back to Vigan City to buy some pasalubong, then we headed back home in the afternoon.
