The Mayans, the Incas, and the Aztecs were three different imperial powers with completely different cultures.

All three powers built some magnificent architectural structures that are still standing

The Mayans and the Aztecs made blood sacrifices. (Probably the Incas did too, though I'm not sure.)

The Mayans developed an alphabetical system of writing their language. The Aztecs developed a hieroglyphic system that had certain features in common with Egyptian hieroglyphics, though both systems, of course, were developed independently of each other.

The Incas did not develop a writing system for their language. But they did develop a way of representing data bases through quipus, which were knotted strings of different lengths and colors, with the knots at different intervals as a way of symbolizing the information the quipus stored. Learning to make and interpret quipus was a profession among the Incas that took years of traiing.

That is all I can think of from the top of my head. I hope this helps.

they all were in south America

they all created amazing (looking) cities

they all were able to create empires from very tough, demanding environments

They weren't all in South America. The Aztecs' capital city is where Mexico City is today, which is in North America. The other two were in South America, though.

They all had religious ceremonies, like bloodletting and sacrifices.
They did all build amazing cities for their time, as the previous poster said.
Um..I can't really think of much only two of them had in common. I did this chapter in history class months ago, so I've forgotten. Find who each group was conquered by (Spanish, English, etc.) and maybe you'll find another similarity.
