Maryknoll Ecological Sanctuary Baguio

Maryknoll Ecological Sanctuary Baguio

You must travel to Baguio city to visit the Maryknoll Ecological Sanctuary. It’s a wonderful sanctuary located at a distance of 25 km north of Santo Tomas Road, Campo Sioco, Baguio. Based on three hectares of land at Campo Sioco, just a five minute ride away from the central business district, is the Maryknoll Ecological Sanctuary. This Sanctuary now stands on the site of the school that the Sisters used to run.

After most of the area got devastated during the July, 1990 earthquake, efforts were undertaken by the Maryknoll sisters to rebuild the whole area with an increased awareness of the essential interaction between the ecological and the spiritual. This gave birth to the present Maryknoll Ecological Sanctuary. Baguio artists were brought in to help in creating the present structures, such as the Neolithic-like edifice within the touring grounds, with its upright stone slabs in a circle, which immediately brings to mind Stonehenge.

The wooden sign hanging upon a pine arch just at the entrance to the Maryknoll Sisters’ Ecological Sanctuary promise a day full of adventure and enjoyment to all those who visit this sanctuary. As the name suggests, it offers a paradise on earth where one can find absolute peace and comfort from the everyday hustle bustle and get drenched in the beauty of nature.
