    It's 12/09/10, get your reply on! lol

    I wouldn't suggest going to Colombia, it was up to decade ago the highest murder rate worldwide, and there are still illegal guerillas in the jungles. look up Colombias wikitravel page.

    I would recommend Burma for experiencing the jungle, would cost roughly the same as Colombia.

    I've been to Colombia and would say it was my favourite country in South America. I know plenty of people who've been and haven't had any problems (Venezuela being a different story). Don't have time to write a full reply but do a search and you'll find that other people here have had good experiences there too. I highly recommend the Ciudad Perdida trek. I didn't have enough time for lounging by the sea, but Parque Nacional Tayrona sounds fab.
