About
Maryknoll Ecological Sanctuary is a roughly 2.8-hectare pine-forest eco-park in Campo Sioco, Baguio City, developed by the Maryknoll Sisters after the 1990 earthquake as a "green museum" for environmental education. Visitors follow a marked "cosmic journey" trail through nature stations, caves, a hanging bridge, and reflective spaces over a 1-3 hour walk. It is a quiet day-use nature destination rather than a swimming or overnight resort; some reviewers note trail maintenance has declined.

- Cross the hanging bridge
- Explore the small caves along the trail
- Pause at the reflective spaces among the pines

Getting there
The sanctuary is at 25 North Santo Tomas Road in Campo Sioco. From downtown Baguio, ride a Santo Rosario Campo Sioco jeepney from beside the Harrison Road overpass stairway and alight outside the gate. By taxi or car, it is a short drive out of the city center via Marcos Highway past the Baguio General Hospital rotunda, turning onto North Santo Tomas Road.
