Thank you so much, Reza Hashemizadeh for the ID.
Thank you so much bayucca, I will edit this spotting with the name you suggested, it is identical to mine.
Protohermes grandis is a species from China, Japan and Taiwan and looks different.

For this one I would go with Chloronia sp..
There are about 16 known species, 3 were reported from CR: Absona, Gloriosoi and Mexicana, all also from the Alajuela area.
Does anybody knows the difference between...Chloronia, Corydalus, Protohermes?? I keep thinking this Dobsonfly is ID incorrectly?!
Thank you for the identification, Reza Hashemizadeh
