Offtheres, that's excellent intel on French Guyana, you should put that into a proper data sheet, I'm sure other guys on here would appreciate it. That's one of the least known places on Earth, as I mentioned before, RVF member Neil Skywalker is the only person I've ever heard of going there and it didn't seem all that great but you've certainly painted a more positive picture, +1 from me. That's pretty cool that you've been to all of the countries in South America, I don't think I could cover that much area myself, some of those places probably aren't the easiest places to travel to.
If you do a data sheet, you should organize it into something like a "Northern South America" thread, including all of the places you mentioned plus Venezuela. Have you also been to the Dutch ABC islands?
on the list of things to do

As mentioned in this thread, the Colombianas in Panama happen to be the best looking compared to locals... The caveat being is that they are pros. i would try Panama for the proximity and beaches ( but that is me).

Can't speak for Panama city.
But Santiago is a cool city for some days. It's a big University city an has alot going on. Nightlife is decent. Youths there love their Pisco/Pisco Sour.
You have the beautiful Andes, great wine, food is good (family/friends BBQ's are popular), it's one of the safest capitals in SA.
Santiago is a modern city and you will find all the major chains there. Sadly it is not the bargain it once was.
The younger generation speak english, but a little basic spanish will get you a long way and bring respect.
From Santiago you can hit up Vina del Mar, no more than 1.5 - 2 hours from Santiago. It's a cool happening beach town with great seafood, and there is always a party going on. Try staying with a chilean family there - mostly likely you will be taken care off, invited to homemade meals and some wine and good conversations.
Jan - feb are considered the best overall months to go to Chile.
