Aparri
Spend a half‑day to a full day in Aparri: see the river marker, the shrine, and surf the local beach; stay overnight if you want a relaxed pace.
Aparri is a small port town at the mouth of the Cagayan River in northern Luzon. Its main sights are the Aparri Marker, the Archdiocesan Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary, and a modest surf‑friendly beach. With limited accommodation and easy access by bus or van from Tuguegarao, a single day covers the highlights; add a night for a slower pace or to catch a sunrise over the river.
