Hi, my husband and I live in the Washington DC area and are considering retirement locations. We're looking at not-too-hot and humid places like the central valley in CR. Anyone with suggestions of towns to consider, places to go during our visit, and/or ideas to consider, please let us know.  Thanks!

@bpwald..We have hot humid at our beaches and cooler humid in our mountains....Hence,Costa Rica is a tropical country.....Now----are you looking to avoid mold and insects too ?

@edwinemora  thanks for the reply, we're trying to avoid hot and humid, cooler humid is fine.  Prefer to avoid mold and insects, but understand that they are a given, especially insects.

@bpwald.....Come peak at peak rainy season(October) to see if it is even worth it for you...Like many Americans they leave during this period, you can't blame them.....But either way,check out the foothills of San Isidro Del General/Perez Zeledon....This zone has finally caught on and the prices are creeping up here too.....Look it up ! You will be surprised of the new communities on the slopes of the 'Talamanca' mountain range...
