I haven’t made it to Manchu Picchu yet, but as an Old World archaeology enthusiast, I visited some Mayan sites in the past year and was way more impressed than I expected to be. If you think like I used to & and assume that all the cool old stuff is in the Old World, consider challenging that assumption :)
Calakmul in Mexico was my favorite. I loved climbing the steps of a pyramid, rising above the jungle canopy, and then seeing a pyramid twice as high staring back at me.
