With a length of 30 miles, Lake Bacalar (or Laguna Bacalar) is the largest lake of the Yucatán peninsula. Also called lake of seven colors, it is a spectacular landmark for its clear azure water, fed by groundwater emerging from "cenotes," or natural sinkholes. The landmark is within a 60-mile distance from Mahahual. There are restaurants near to the shore, and sports activities such as kayaking and windsurfing are available, too.

The Bergerac Tobacco Museum is located in a beautiful turreted building called Pyrarède House. The museum's five exhibits showcase the history of tobacco in connection to the city of Bergerac, from its discovery to its social use.

Housed in a former monastery that dates back to the 17th century, the Maison des Vins de Bergerac showcases fine exhibits on the history of the region's wine production industry. Visitors can naturally sample and purchase some of the vintages to take home.

Venturing a bit beyond Figueres one can find the beautiful Monestir Sant Pere de Rodes, a former Benedictine monastery perched atop the green Verdera mountain and surrounded by absolutely breathtaking landscapes. The area is also home to the ruins of a medieval town and a pre-Romanesque-style church.
