Delta is an impressive expanse of land in Aparri, where the Cagayan River meets the West Philippine Sea. Walk into the jetty at the juncture of the river and the sea to find the awesome mouth of the vast Cagayan River. Stand, be blown away, and experience the beauty and power of the Delta.
What can you see?
• To your left, you can see the Cagayan River.
• To your right, you can see the sea with waves crashing against the break water.
• The children play with the waves, in the surf, and on the shore.
• On the cement walkway, you can see small shrimps being dried under the sun.
• You can see townspeople sorting small shrimps through the day’s catch.
The Delta is not like any other tourist attractions, but what makes Aparri Delta so majestic and beautiful is because of its size and how it looks like when the crashing waves mix with the calm and peaceful water of the river. The sea has been part of the people's livelihood in Aparri. The Delta is very interesting, and you can spot little shrimps, “alamang”, that we mostly use as condiments in kare-kare (country’s stew, made from peanut sauce with a variety of vegetables with meat) or for green mangoes that really taste good.
