Don't have all you are asking for, but here's a start Mike:
TAF's & Metars:

What I've noticed enroute when flying down there, is that the enroute weather requests are not answered promptly, which has led me to believe that enroute controllers don't have ready access to a computer terminal etc. to query and read back to pilots. It has taken me more than an hour to get a simple request for a TAF or METAR answered for Bogata, one of the major destinations down there. My point here is that you should get a good handle on the wx before you launch. You may not get a wx update enroute.
Hopefully others can contribute to the above as well. If you're going down there for the first time, you may elect to utilize the services of a handler who can provide flight planning (wx/notams/ground services (like customs clearing etc.). They may save you expense and frustration in the end. Just a thought Mike. Here's a handler that I've used satisfactorily before:

It's better to break ground and head into the wind than to break wind and head into the ground.

Flying an aircraft and building a guitar are two things that are easy to do bad and difficult to do right
