The Savegre Valley in Costa Rica was very much like how I've always imagined Rivendell, a beautiful green valley which was a spot of "tamed" (with orchards and stuff - but still rural/not-built-up) countryside surrounded by wilderness.
Several other locations (a range of very misty mountains...) struck me as M-E reminiscent at the time: probably because we saw a tree called the "walking palm" (it really does move - but very slowly, a couple feet per year, up and down the hillsides, by growing more roots on one side and losing them on the other) which made me think of Ents and Huorns.
