As you note, this is from Hamlet's great solioquy. He is pondering suicede, among other things, and he is referring to death, the "undiscoered country." Shakespeare doesn't give us much detail on the nature of this country, but Hamlet is debating whether it is better than his current situation

The "undiscovered country" is where, if anywhere, the "soul" goes after death.
As for a description of it, well, that depends on which, if any, religion you prefer.
