Since no one else is commenting I will again. I'm in super hot, dry Las Vegas. There is nothing here in nature that is appealing. Well the abundance you mention is attractive. But I am sensitive to humidity. The coast is out for me. I am also sensitive to the socio-political environment and it is terrible and decline here in America. So, I've two big motivations. I lived in Mexico and can get by in Spanish. None of the expat tubers mention the native people and the language issues. Making friends is important in the long run. Are there cool places in the mountains? I don't care if they're small and only Spanish is spoken. I also don't care about merging with the expat community...Thanks.

Language is Spanish but a lot of people ( especially service industry folks) are bi or tri - lingual also LOTS of expats from everywhere

[@libertyrose28]

Yes you can find lots of cool places in the mountains but don’t expect to escape the humidity

Hi. How are you? Your situation sounds similar to mine. I used to live in Las Vegas and in general don’t like high humidity. Yes. There are amazing places in the mountains. San Ramon is the best. I have been all over the country and chose San Ramon for the stunning beauty and weather. It never gets hot. It never gets cold. Every day is between 60-80F. I don’t have AC in my house. Nor heat. Don’t need it. Yes it rains a lot and the humidity is high. However San Ramon is at ~3700 ft. above sea level. So the dew point is low. You don’t feel hot and sweaty like you would in Miami, for example. San Ramon is central. Close to the beaches SJO airport La Fortuna etc. It is known as the town of Poets and Presidents. I just love the people and the place. I can speak Spanish reasonably well and the locals appreciate it. You can make friends with locals easily with a little effort. My closest friends are Tikos. Frankly I think you can make better friends there than in any country in Latin America There are nearby towns such as Atenas Grecia and Naranjo that are also great. But it gets hot on many days. Ask anyone in CR and they will tell you that SR is pleasantly cool. In fact, locals call it La Capital Del Mundo, for that, amongst many other reasons.

Yes I am really considering moving to Atenas to a gated community in which I explored this pass August for the first . I also explored las Catilinas and I wanted to die in how hot it was. So for sure the mountains at about 2400 ft above sea level is ideal for me . Another thing yes vehicles are pricey but it didnt stop me from purchasing one last month as I got tired of renting and not having the proper 4X4 capabilities that are needed as I remember traveling from the airport to Tamarindo .

Your presentation are very good and very informative and more people ought to be watching. I lived in Mexico for 10+ years. Times have changed. I am back in the US and things are declining here in terms of quality of life and safety, so I am looking abroad. C.R. looks very good. But I've never been there. You know that's tricky. You have to test a place before making the leap. I speak Spanish enough to function without relying on locals speaking English. I don't want to be in a tourist spot nor where a lot of expats congregate. I'd prefer a typical CR community away from high humidity somewhere int he mountains. Anyone have suggestions?
