Yes, there
is a Noah’s Ark in Amaya View in Indahag Hills, Cagayan de Oro. However, that is
not the Biblical ark of the Bible. It is a replica of the famed ark designed
and constructed to be one of the attractions of Amaya View. The concrete
replica of the “ark” is built in the highest area of the hill with an elevation
of 1,122 feet above sea level. Just by being in the vicinity of the “ark” is already
a pleasure by itself because one can see the breathtaking view of nature- the
sky, the mountains and hills, the trees and far beyond are some of the urban
areas of the city.
At the “ark” are different replicas of animals such as tigers, elephants, giraffes, apes and deer. One can enter the ark for free. At the bottom of it are the aviary and mini zoo where different species of wild and domestic animals are kept and fed. A visitor has to pay 100 pesos to enter and view these areas. inside are birds such as wild ducks, macaws, peacocks, bantam chickens and others. The mini zoo has also kept quadruped animals for viewing to the public such as wild goats, pony, donkey, deer, tiger, llama, alpaca, crocodile and other animals.
