Bah! If you want to see a waterfall, check out Angel Falls in Venezuela.
And if you wanna see what the barrel-end of an AK-47 is like, go to Venezuela.
If you wanna see what it's like to be kidnapped and held for ransom, it's also a beautiful place to go.

Chavez has upped the rate of his nationalizations this month and is now announcing the government will take control of banking, telcoms, and several other sectors.
So, have we exhausted the definitive US list of attractions already then?
I noticed nobody mentioned Monument Valley so far, I would consider putting that into the top ten.
What about the Mighty Mississippi? Or do we include that with New Orleans (or St Louis). Should the Bayou/Cajun culture be rolled up with NO too?
A substitute for Williamsburg might be Savannah, GA perhaps?
It seems we need to group a number of locations into cities or regions, e.g. New York clearly has a vast number of definitive lankmarks etc. (No one has mentioned the ESB for example). Same with DC, being the seat of government and all...
As for regions, if we went down that route (someone has mentioned Alaska) then I would definitely say Arizona has one of the best collections of places to visit in all of the US...?
So, keep them coming in and then I as the foreigner will pick what I would perceive to be the top ten places I would want to see as a visitor, and we'll see if the natives agree...
-Music Row and Lower Broadway in Nashville (Country Music)
-Beale Street in Memphis (Blues)
-Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga (See Seven States from the top!)
-Stone Mountain in Atlanta (Same guy who did Rushmore)
-The Battery in Charelston (and Ft. Sumpter as well)
-Biltmore in Ashville (Largest private residence in US)
These are just some close by ones to me.
The list is enormous...

Perhaps a hint of sarcasm in my comment...
BUT, would you call those truly definitive US landmarks, or merely interesting local attractions?
I am thinking of the TOP 10 that distill the essence of the identity of the US...

See...that's just the thing. The "identity of the US" is so hard to identify due to the vast differences in people and cultures.
