As has been mentioned, Africa strikes a primal chord. But Machu Picchu at sunset is a sight to behold.
What’s the one place everyone should visit before they die?

The Actun Tunichil Muknal cave in Belize before they figure out tourists shouldn't be allowed to get inches away from Mayan artifacts and calcified human skeletons placed in sacrificial ceremony over 1,000 years ago. Go before someone drowns or breaks their neck in the cave passage. One literally needs to swim in some sections of the cave as well as do some technical bouldering without harnesses or rope, in your socks, at the end to get to the final resting place of members of a mysterious, ancient culture. You can never prove you were there as cameras and phones are prohibited because some fucktard tourist dropped their phone on a human skull, crushing it's crystalized frontal bone.
As a bonus, stay and fish the Caribean waters of Belize for tarpon, permit and bonefish. On the fly if you're gay; spincast if you're retarded and lazy like me.

Grand Staircase Escalante area of Utah. It's just... it's not a real place.

Been to many of the places mentioned already but if it came down to one specific place it would have to be flying in to Brooks Camp, Katmai National Park and hiking to Brooks Falls. Seeing dozens of wild brown bears catching salmon is a bucket list item highlighted in bold! Watching that feeding frenzy go down at the gateway to the Valley of 10,000 Smokes really puts your life in perspective of what wild is!

Would love to go there and learn the Ainu tribes of Hokkaido…to compare and contrast indigenous cultures between Ainu and the Alutiiq from Alaska.
It has been over a decade since I have been there, but I really enjoyed my time in Iceland. It is a unique landscape and everyone should go there at least once.

Machu Picchu is currently a bucket list item for me, but I’ve read mixed reports recently about it being kind of crowded and overly commercialized. May depend on when you go and who you coordinate to book through.

My wife is from Lima. I’ve been to Peru several times, all over the country on small planes, trains, busses. So much breathtaking scenery, it’s unreal. Rainbow mountain, high glacier lakes, buggies and sunset over sand dunes at Huacachina, cliffs at Paracas, wineries in Ica, rainforest, waterfalls and canyons as grand as the Grand Canyon in Chochapyas, Gocta falls, Kuelap, beach bungalows in Northern Peru, architecture, culture, food. One of my favorite things of all was a train ride through the Andes with food and drink, from Cusco to Lake Titicaca. Medellin, Bali, Baja, Switzerland were also amazing. Midwest deer hunting is hard to beat. MN grouse a great trip. Argentina, Africa top my bucket list for hunting/fishing.

I’ve been a few times. Worth it even with the crowd. Other less crowded places totally worth it too. The country is unreal

Alaska and the Brooks Range. Its remoteness is unmatched as far as the US is concerned. This picture was taken aprox. 225 miles from the nearest road and 450 miles from any modern convenience. The animals you see likely have never laid eyes on a human and you get that feeling with every step that nobody has stepped there before. It has a unique way of humbling you and putting you in your place in the world.

Patagonia was an indelible experience for me. Lots of vertical, harsh weather, good steak, and very kind people.
