Baguio's refreshing air is a welcome break from the scorching heat in Manila, where temperatures can hit a sweltering 43°C to 48°C!
This past weekend, I decided to trade the usual tourist spots for some tranquility and ventured out to the sanctuary with a backpack full of curiosity and a camera eager to capture the beauty.
A Walk Through a Living Cathedral
Stepping through the entrance, I was immediately transported to a different world. Towering bamboo stalks, reaching high towards the sky, formed a natural cathedral overhead. Sunlight filtering through the leaves created a dappled mosaic on the pathway, and the gentle rustle of the wind in the bamboo was the only sound that broke the peaceful silence.
Nature's Symphony and Sustainable Charm
The sanctuary wasn't just visually stunning; it was an auditory treat as well. The rustling bamboo leaves created a calming symphony, perfect for quieting the mind and allowing nature's music to take over.
A Moment of Mindfulness
Whether you're a nature enthusiast seeking a peaceful escape or simply someone looking for a unique Baguio experience, the St. Francis Xavier Seminary Bamboo Sanctuary is a must-visit. It's a place to reconnect with nature, find inner peace, and capture some truly stunning photos. So next time you're in Baguio, skip the crowded tourist spots and take a walk through this hidden gem. You won't be disappointed
