    You have 2 options to see Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto: first by taking the stairs and the other drive up by car. There are parking lots from other establishments and the start of the stairs and we simply asked for permission if we can park in for a period of time. We did not know the entrance or way to the vehicle option, hence we went through the stairs. It was more or less 250 steps but felt like more. There are quick stops where you can take a rest and appreciate the angel structures. At the top is the huge grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, a candle offering area and a small chapel where you can sit, reflect, pray and listen to nature. We took the staircase back down to our car and grabbed some strawberry ice cream. The place is clean and with a clean restroom as well.

    Shrine created by the Jesuits. It now has a chapel near the grotto, and as always, after a long hike up its stairs, the view on top is amazing. Say a little prayer to Mama Mary when you get there.

    Catholic shrine that sits on Mirador Hill in Baguio City. It was constructed in 1913 mainly out of limestone that was used to build the Mirador Jesuite you will have to climb up a stairway made up of around 252 steps which took five years to complete.

    Good scenery at the end of the long stairs. At the same time, you can, for example, tear yourself apart or dedicate the thought to God. No admission fee.

    The Lourdes Grotto is a catholic shrine and place of prayer and meditation located on Mirador Hill in the western part of Baguio City. Inside the grotto is a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes. To reach the shrine the visitor must climb 252 steps. Only a ride from the central business district. It's reachable by jeepneys and taxi if you don't have a car.

    Virgin Mary representation. Grounds are gated and marked private property. You can take a picture in front of the statue though.

    No tickets for this place. It’s a church for 200+ steps I think? Went here to pray for everything that’s going on in my life. I’m very grateful to visit this place. That’s all.

    The concrete stairs from the foothill leading up to the Grotto is a challenge for the young at heart. A landing is provided every now and then as respite for picture taking and to rest. The trek upstairs is a good bonding moment when taken with the family. There is an access road for cars leading up to the Grotto. It is a big help for the elderly who only have to muster a dozen more steps to reach the Shrine.

    Nice place to visit, no need to pay an extra 100 if you've already paid at Mirador's gate. It is a quiet place to pray and meditate. Entrance fee:100

    Another place that you should not miss when you take your trip to the summer capital city. Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto will nkt only fill your eyes full with the scenery but also connects your spirits to our Creator. Make sure to be ready to take the steps to reach the top. Aside visiting the shrine you can definitely spend your time in Mirador Eco park which is at the side of the hill.

    You must be ready to hike hundreds of steps to get to the top. There are vendors where you can buy a drink or two, as well as candles which you can lit up for well wishes once you are there.

    Long stairs ahead. Atmosphere was clear and good. No entrance fee and free to pray po. The other side is the Mirador Dominican Hill.

    The place was under construction when we visited but we just went there to pray so it didn't really bother us that much. The main stairs were closed so we had to walk around near the eco park. Haven't tried that part yet but it seems good to do so. The grotto itself is clean and quiet. The chapel looks so amazing. My girlfriend and I both thought it would be the perfect place to hold a wedding. Though we're not sure if they do. Anyway, worth the visit.

    Nice place for worship. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Su Jin K. 2 years ago on Google
    Very pristine and well-kept! Definitely lives up to its name, eco and spiritual park. There are different stations, statues, and even a small chapel to reconnect with God and Mama Mary.

    A morning walk to the Grotto is refreshing. You can also try the Eco-trail of Mirador surrounding the Grotto, if you love nature. You can also carry your own picnic baskets or a bottle of water. There were kubos and spots where you can sit and rest, take a photo or just simply breathe the fresh air from the trees and plants. Oh, bring a 100 peso bill per person. That's for your entrance to Mirador. Have fun! 😊 Below are some of the flowers that you'll find inside Mirador.

    If you're a Catholic, you may find this place interesting. I don't belong to any organized religion, thus it's not my cup of tea to climb up the stairs. A few snaps of photo from my dashboard was enough.

    It's a challenging to take upstair,I didn't count how many steps,but it's fulfilling to reach on top.its a sacred and best time for hailing spiritually.

  • 5/5 Argie G. 1 year ago on Google
    Serene place. Very long stairs if youre going up to walk from the bottom. You have also an option to ride up to the top as there are various parking spaces.

  • 4/5 May “Ziel” N. 1 year ago on Google
    Quick climb up where you can look at Mary's statue and the commandments of the Bible on a stone. Can't light candles anymore though and there are no flowers for sale in the area. Next to this is a small chapel that's quiet, outside of which are more chairs under a shade where you can take a break. There's a nearby restroom too, and the wind blows nicely up these parts. It's an easy to miss spot if you're in a hurry and dread the stairs, but just the wind and the view from the top is roughly an equivalent exchange for that effort to see it under the sun.

    You can either drive up to it and walk a flight of stairs or start from the bottom and climb all the way up. The view up here is nice, one can simply relax after the long climb up or pray in front of the shrine, light up a candle or go to the small chapel. It's one of things you have to do if you're up here in Baguio City.

    Wow, what an amazing & beautiful place to visit! We only had about 3 hours there to see the sights and everything we saw was awe inspiring!!! I wished we had more time there, but with our train schedule, we saw what we could. I would recommend spending at least 5 or 6 hours there, so you don’t have to rush! We bought very cute Holy Water containers in the village and filled them up at the grotto! The water is free! We enjoyed an ice cream while there too! Lots of cute souvenir shops too! Magical!!!! 🌹

    Lourdes Grotto in Baguio City. It was constructed in 1913 mainly out of limestone that was used to build the Mirador Jesuit Villa. Inside the grotto, you will find Our Lady of Lourdes statue. This sculpture was created by the famous artist Isabelo Tampingco using polychromed moves. Aside from serving as a place of worship, many tourists flock here for the scenic view of Baguio City that the grotto offers. To reach the grotto, you will have to climb up a stairway made up of around 252 steps which took five years to complete.
