Underground Jungle

The Underground Jungle is one of the more difficult areas you can find in the world of Terraria so far. It can be found close to surface or deep underground. The underground jungle always spawns opposite of the dungeon, so it is suggested that you should dig downwards on the other side of your map and continue digging horizontally to the opposite direction if you want to find the Underground Jungle.

The Underground Jungle is huge and takes a long time to fully explore. Shrines are exceptionally common in this environment, often containing chests with rare items or weapons that you can't find anywhere else. You can also gather materials that can be used to create rare items.

Hunting the Jungle
A more efficient way to find it is get a Depth Meter, travel to the farthest point on your map that is opposite your dungeon and depending on your map size, dig down to the appropriate depth, and start digging towards the opposite side. This can take a lot of time but it's guaranteed that you'll find one.

Keep in mind, that it might be deeper on your world, but these are general numbers. It is also possible that you can find the top of the underground jungle on the surface.

(I would highly suggest you NOT use the above information to find the jungle if you value your time. Yes, the jungle will spawn on the opposite side of the map to where your dungeon spawns.  However, the depth at which it starts seems to be very random, if not completely.  On my medium world the jungle started at 1200ft down, and I dug over it twice before finally going down to 1200ft, digging across, and just hitting the tip of the top of the jungle.  If you don't mind cheating a little, and saving yourself bucket loads of time, I suggest you use a map viewer such as this one, http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/terraria-map-viewer.4226/.  I do wish I had found it sooner.  Just take a glance at it, see about where the jungle is located, and then close it to maintain a little bit of adventure and discovery.)
