Pergusa is near the only Sicilian natural lake, the Pergusa Lake, which represents a fundamental point in the migration of bird. The area is also surrounded by hills and forest known as Selva Pergusina. Pergusa Lake is also well known as having a racing circuit, known as Autodromo di Pergusa, encircling its shores.
