I'm above Lake Arenal at 650 meters. You'll be able to grow anything you want up there.
Go hunt yourself some heliconias , banana and plantain to get you started. Yuca grows from sticks too as do guititi, madera negro, guachepelin,indio desnudo,poro and many, many other trees..Those are the "Tico names" but it's all they use around here for the most part.
The only things you "might" find difficult are Papaya and Pineapple. Depends on your individual microclimate.

Bignonia. I'd love for you to come up to my botanical gardens and help me out ID'ing some ferns, native shrubs and things I'm having trouble finding in the books.
I have a lava view cabin you can stay in too.
