The higher building looks like it's from Tikal, in northern Guatemala. It's supposed to have been (?) the main governing city of the Maya civilization.

One of the more remarkable structures is Tikal Temple. I include a picture from the Temple, and the city from a different point of view. (Source: Wikipedia)

Here's another World Heritage Site, in a different part of our Earth:

Where will you find this plunge waterfall and what's it called? Also mention country and name of the area.

Starting from our last challenge, you'd have to cross the Pacific to get to this location.

Here's another clue:

The country is the world's sixth-largest, also the largest without land borders.

Near the Ionian Nebula, still searching for Earth
It's the 'Jim Jim' Falls on the Jim Jim Creek, Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory of Australia, east of Darwin.
The water cascades over the 'Arnhem Land' escarpment, one of the park's noted geological structures.
The entire park has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Correct right down to the last detail. The challenge goes back, across the Atlantic.

This is the Larabanga Mosque, a historic mosque (founded in 1421/the 17th century) in the Muslim town of Larabanga, Ghana. It's been mentioned to be the "Mekka of West Africa". It's the oldest mosque in Ghana.
Legend has it that an Islamic trader had a dream while he was staying here. When he woke up, the foundations were already there.

If I'm right, please open the challenge to everyone.

Note:
Seems like we're playing virtual ping-pong. :)
