Jeeps to Montalban (Rodriguez)

Don't Go to Avilon Zoo During Rainy Season
cyndymc Says: If you go to Avilon Zoo during the rainy season , expect the roads to be rough, and their parking lot to be full of puddles of water and mud. Unless you have a 4x4, I suggest you postpone your trip, otherwise, your car repair costs might be something you'll never forget.
Erebos Says: a small backpack will do anything comfortable. it gets a little hot during the afternoons. bring a hat/cap. a camera with a high-resolution. a digital-SLR is a must!
