I have not traveled very much and not a student of archeology or anything related, but did have the chance to see the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza in Mexico some years ago (15 or more?). And that remains as the most fascinating thing I have ever seen, very vivid memories of that day.

If you ever get back to the Yacatan, stop at Coba. It's near Vallodilid on the way to Chichen Itza. Unlike Chichen Itza, it is not restored and only partially explored, but it is much, much larger, with a taller pyramid peeking up over the surrounding jungle. Whereas Chichen Itza markets itself a bit like Disney World, in Coba you'll wander down jungle paths by yourself to find ruins no one has yet fully uncovered.
