Both take the breath away, but Grand Canyon achieves the effect without the lack of oxygen. Hard one to call, but every time I try to move towards Machu Picchu, the Canyon hauls me back...

The pyramids are big and impressive but kind of a one trick pony. The Grand Canyon is big and impressive, but so varied, constantly changing with time, long and short. It changes with the weather, with the season, with the light. It can also kick your ass in a heartbeat, if you aren't careful.

Grand Canyon it is.

Pyramids have so much going for them: secret chambers, association with the planets and solar systems, mystery of construction, plus they are the only surviving one of the original seven wonders of the world. And let's not forget that they spawned two blockbusters: 'Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark' and 'Stargate'.

So I vote Grand - no, only joking - for me it has to be:

Pyramids

(only best of 7 in the final?)
