Bluroze Farms: A Place of Tranquility in the Middle of Lipa City

This is another side trip from my Batangas fieldwork in the last week of July. We wanted to initially visit The Farm in San Benito, however, we find that its entrance is too much for our few hours visit. So before we leave Manila, I researched a place where we can go to, and I came across Bluroze Farm and Wildlife in Lipa City.

Bluroze Farm and Wildlife is a tranquility place located at Brgy. Lodlod, Lipa City. It is a 8-hectare farm with lodging and events place and houses several animals.


How to get there

For those who are coming from Manila, you can take buses bound for Lipa City from the Cubao Bus Terminal. We took Partas Bus and paid about Php 140.00 for the fare. After about an hour and a half, we reached the Lipa Tollway exit.

To get to the Lipa City Proper, you will have to take jeepneys bound for Lipa (with signboards: Lipa or Lipa Proper). Fare is Php 8.00. You have two options where to get off: One near the Kapilya or Iglesia ni Cristo church near the Star Tollway or McDo across Robinson's Lipa. Either of the two terminals, you have to take a tricycle and tell them you are bound to Bluroze Farm. I recommend you to take the tricycles from the McDo terminal since there is no tricycle terminal from the Iglesia.

It is quite far from McDo and will take you about 10-15 minutes before you reach the gates of Bluroze Farms. For those who are coming from the Iglesia, it will take you about 7-10 minutes only. Fare from either way is Php 70.00.

Inside Bluroze Farms

Entrance fee in Bluroze Farm is Php 100 per head. You have choices of having one round of drink and sandwich for Php 150.00 or entrance with lunch for Php 175.00.

Ostrich Eggs for sale - Php 400.00 each

I am still thinking where would you eat when you are so engaged with the views like below.


It has different rooms - bahay kubos - with insect names, such as tutubi, bubuyog and the likes.

They also have conference and function rooms, restaurants and camping site.

Aside from lodging and accommodations, it houses different kinds of birds and other animals.

However, pavements are bound to the rooms only and for those who wanted to see the animals nearer, they have to walk on the grass (wet and muddy when we are there since it just rained). I hope they do something about the walkways that visitors can use to be up close with the animals.


The whole place is very serene. You can climb the tower to look at the whole place in an aerial view. You can also enjoy the lush greens while on the hammock or swings made from huge tires.

I will definitely go back to this place. I bet this will be better during the dry season. :)
